We model the universe as a bit matrix of

• the size of the matrix is equal to maxium entropy of the system, for our example we use a value of 4, but you could just as easily plugin the maximum entropy of the actual univserse (1e122 according to Max Tegmark)

initial universe configuration "empty universe" (pre big bang)

• this represents a universe with a max entropy of 4 (4 bit slots)

universes move from one matrix stage to the next, each stage can exist in a set of superpositions, a superposition is represented by the total amount of possible combinations in that stage e.g.

• stage one
  • one bit is added to our matrix
    •

    • we see in this stage there are four possible superpositions
    • we can traverse from stage zero to any superposition in stage one
    • in the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics there is a link between stage zero and all superpositions of stage one
    • Counting the number of superpositions is intuitive all small values but can be computed for large values using the combination formula

      • n here is the total entropy of our system, r is the stage number
      • for stage one 4C1 = 4!/(1!3!) = 4
• stage two

  • in stage two we are working with two bits of data, using the combination formula we see that the total number of superpositions in stage two is 6
