Not sure what question your answer of "No" is answering. But someone's clearly heard of the guy. >8^D
This is fantastic stuff, Jon. Thanks. cf https://www.slac.stanford.edu/pubs/slacpubs/5000/slac-pub-5161.pdf "ends up with the conclusion that it takes three bits to get the system started and that: 1 Bit is absorbed in FIAT LUX (Statement A) 1 Bit is absorbed in stating B 1 Bit left to start generating the cosmos More bits 3 CREATOR “The extra bits pertain to the Creator rather than to the Cosmos, and will not be looked at ever again in this work."

In the process of continuing my work on situating theories of computation within the context of syntactic categories, I found myself down a rabbit hole leading to this thinker. A F Parker-Rhodes' book[0] "The Theory of Indistinguishables" has at the very least a table of contents worth perusing. The wikipedia article[1] depicts an individual with a diversity of his deep interests, publications and public affiliations resembling the penchants of some I have met through Friam. Somehow it still surprises me when I discover a Lewis Fry Richardson or Per Martin-Löf so late in life. Is A F Parker-Rhodes another of these?
