Is reality like a computer?

[Walking Void]

I was in a computer repair class today, and my teacher was talking to me about how binary code works. And that got me thinking, what if the true nature of reality, is numbers? A complex system of ons and offs, of 1s and 0s. Maybe even we are really just a complex system of yes and no.

Like in biology, we have a good example of a system that operates exactly like this within our own body, neurons. It says yes or no as to whether or not a single is transferred, and that is how we move our arms. I am interested in hearing what you all say, discuss.

Are you saying it's ONLY numbers, as in all the data we think we are processing (light, sound, etc.) is not what it seems?

It sounds like a kind of atomic idealism.

Somewhat. All it is, is life without senses. Emulate that in your head if You can. All You keep is the arithmetic. Just like how data is either a magnetic pole or an electron charge.
