“Toffoli says he thinks of CAM-8 as "computronium" — a flexible "element" capable of mimicking all other elements and particles, real or imagined.”

“The process⟳ of making computers on ever smaller scales, using physical degrees of freedom and the laws of physics in an ever more efficient manner, can be thought of as a refining process⟳. In this process⟳ we are trying to refine and concentrate the computing power inherent in the laws of physics. You might ask⟳, "Can we achieve⟳ 100% pure 'Computronium'?"”

“They should be working on uploading and solving the nanoassembly conformational problem instead. Then we could turn⟳ all the available dumb matter⟳ into computronium and use⟳ it for processing our thoughts. Long-term, it's the only way to go.”

“To this end⟳, the AI might produce⟳ computronium (matter⟳ organized in a configuration that is optimal for computation) and use⟳ it to implement digital minds in states of euphoria.”
