@Plinz 'state changes in information'. I'd like to point out that how water combines with dirt to form mud doesn't look like computation.
@MXORN Computation is a priori, synthetic, and minimal (i.e. necessary and sufficient). Your stuff is not, which makes it ugly.

@Plinz Dynamics only assumes state and transformation. Minimal and elegant. A priori is debatable, but so is it for computation. -
@MXORN If you reduce dynamical systems theory to this, then you simply assert the possibility of hypercomputation? - 2 more replies

@Plinz your aesthetic criterion is based on opinions of a computer geek (no offense!). Doesn't that make you wonder? -
@MXORN What are you? Some kind of mud-geek? - 1 more reply

@Plinz computation is a formal structure applied to the world. It's a description, not a priori, but a given, once the universe is given.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
