This is a nice lay-person explanation of hamming codes and how they're useful. Interesting tidbit - it appears the universe uses them to preserve quantum state

This is a nice lay-person explanation of hamming codes and how they're useful.
Interesting tidbit - it appears the universe uses them to preserve quantum state information. Make of that what you will.

- madaxe_again 12y agoHave a read - it's interesting stuff - this is from Physics World - http://www.onbeing.org/program/uncovering-codes-reality/feature/symbols-power-adinkras-and-nature-reality/1460 http://www.onbeing.org/program/uncovering-codes-reality/feat...
- lmm 12y agoAh, SUSY rather than QM. I think it's a bit much to say the universe appears to follow SUSY; it's been... not great at generating experimental predictions, and to the extent that there are results they are negative.
