Reality is analog with digital override

1 / 1Light-emitting processes in a correlated electron system. (A) Broadband emission generated by hot carriers due to the electron-electron scattering, which is known to mimic the blackbody radiation (note a logarithm-scaled sketch) at effective temperatures. (B) Spontaneous emission of independent atoms (denoted by ①) and the Dicke superradiance (denoted by ②) due to a collective deexcitation of atoms in the limit of a small interatomic distance a, i.e., 𝑎 → 0 (note that, for the display, a is illustrated intentionally longer compared to the wavelength).

Reality is analog with digital override, something proved without question 

with this amazing experiment showing decoherence is fact.

A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and collapses in "open quantum environments" existing in nature. Since perfectly isolated quantum systems cannot exist in reality, this study is expected to provide a decisive breakthrough in bridging the gap between ideal quantum theory and quantum technologies that must operate in real-world environments.

From John Wheeler (1983), Law Without Law. In: Quantum theory and measurement.

From It to Bit has finally been proven experimentally. Jonathan Wheeler was right. :)

Wheeler's insightful notion of existence being an information construct makes sense as the boson, (the photon), the carrier force of the electromagnetic, becomes digital by transitioning into discrete energy packets (quanta) when absorbed by leptons (the electron), a radical solution to the black body problem described in detail by Max Planck in 1900, thus introducing Quantum Mechanics to the world, the prime driver giving rise to the digital age in which we all live.  Prior to absorption,  photons, aka light, exist as analog waves, something readily seen by Thomas Young's brilliant 1801 double slit experiment.
