I’ll take this one. Can someone provide some background as to exactly what is being discussed here?

  A major plot point and thematic element from a novel by Greg Egan called Permutation City.

    Would you consider this to be a spoiler for the book? I've not read my copy yet.

      You probably won't understand this brief "explanation" until after you read the book. It's brief largely because it assumes that you know at least the events in the book, even if you couldn't follow the definitions and other exposition.
