If this set of identities is valid, it may be concluded that “it” cannot derive from
“bit,” because it transcends bit according to the Transcendentality criterion of the
complementarian logic described in Sect. 2.3 . To be consistent with the
complementarian logic as applied to Identities 4.41 , Wheeler's original dictum
may need to be rephrased into one of the following expressions, which are admit-
tedly not as poetic, but perhaps closer to truth, than Wheeler's original phrase:
00 It from Bit
: 00 ) 00 It as Gnergy
: 00
(4.42)
00 It is Gnergy
: 00
(4.43)
00 From It to Bit and Erg
: 00
(4.44)
00 Bit and Erg from It
: 00
(4.45)
where erg is the unit of (or represents) energy just as bit is the unit of (or represents)
information.
