Abstrakt: Ryan D. Mullins Computational Worlds: An Information Ontology Abstract of the Master-Thesis In this thesis, 'the world', that unified, all-encompassing domain about which we speak and make apparent discoveries every day will be declared another mythology. Instead, reality will look radically different. Reality comprises distortive, aesthetic simulations. The reality that will emerge will be a computational reality, a metaphysical pluralism in which actuality and possibility vie and vex, ultimately 'collapsing' into unified information states. This is a philosophy of the transfinite; more negatively, an anti-Kantian, anti-monistic philosophy. The author seeks nothing less than a new prism through which to view traditional philosophical problems and, in the best-case scenario, create possible solutions.
