Digitalism

Digitalism is a term that refers to all expressions of digital culture.

Digitalism is also a scientific paradigm that postulates that the universe itself is the ultimate supercomputer. Accordingly, all the computation of the human world, especially on every personal computer, merely functions on cycles of the universal computer. Weaving together quantum physics with new theories in computer science, digital thinkers are outlining a way of understanding all of physics as a form of computation.

Philosophical digitalism is most commonly expressed through the simulated reality argument while religious digitalism is a modern form of Deism or Pantheism whereby God is recast as a "Divine Programmer" or Creation as a "Divine Computer." The Omega Point hypothesis is a popular but dubious synthesis of both philosophical and religious digitalism.
