Pebbles to Computers Quotes

“This exquisite photograph of water in movement...has a very subtle message for us. It is that nature’s computers are that which they compute. If one were to take intricate details of wind and tide and so on, and use them...as ‘input’ to some computer simulating water—what computer would one use, and how express the ‘output’? Water itself: that answers both those questions.”
― Stafford Beer, Pebbles to Computers: The Thread
