Summary:
Co-hygiene and quantum gravity. Some light weekend reading by John Shutt.
The post starts with a dazzling proposition:
Gravity corresponds to pure function-application, and the other fundamental forces correspond to side-effects. ... quantum non-locality ("spooky action at a distance") is part of the analog to side-effects ...
I can't do it justice here, so if you're interested in John's fascinating take on the relationship between lambda calculus and quantum physics, hop on over!
