 Theoretical Physics makes very good use of the mathematical models involving continuous functions and continuous variables.  Our question is "Does the real world also make use of such continuous functions and continuous quantities or is the continuity in mathematics necessarily never more than an approximation to the real world?"

This is the begining of what will be an exploration of the relationships between theoretical microscopic physics and discrete informational systems.  Computation must obey the laws of physics, and we are only now begining to understand the nature of laws that govern discrete informational processes; laws that might also apply to microscopic processes in physics.

 The fantastic technical progress of the digital world has occured despite the fact that physics, with its laws, mathematics and deep knowledge of the physical world, has little connection to digital computation.  What follows is the begining of an inquiry into the relationships between laws of physics and discrete digital computational processes.
