摘要：
The aim of this work is to apply information theoretic ideas to the notion of fundamentality. I will argue that if one adopts pancomputationalism (the idea that the world is a computer of some sort) as a metaphysics for the universe, then there are higher-level structures which are just as fundamental for computation as anything from microphysics.
