    ENDOPHYSICS
    The World as an Interface

    by Otto E Rössler (Universität Tübingen)

    What do yin-yang and the Lorenzian butterfly in chaos have in common? The outside perspective. Only by going very far outside — beyond the end of the world — do certain aspects of the world become intelligible. The computer makes it possible today to go after the interface. What does the world look like if you are an internally chaotic part? Is the world just a difference, an interface, a forcing function? Is it possible to identify those features which exist only from the inside? How far does the meta-unmaskability go? Is quantum mechanics a virtual reality? Can the micro-interface be manipulated? Such questions are tackled in this fascinating book.

    “Rossler's work should stimulate and exasperate simultaneously but whichever, it suggests plenty of possibilities.”
