    "abstract": "Some principles underpinning the running of the Universe are discussed. The\nmost important, the machine principle, states that the Universe is a fully\nautonomous, self-organizing and self-testing quantum automaton. Continuous\nspace and time, consciousness and the semi-classical observers of quantum\nmechanics are all emergent phenomena not operating at the fundamental level of\nthe machine Universe. Quantum processes define the present, the interface\nbetween the future and the past, giving a time ordering to the running of the\nUniverse which is non-integrable except on emergent scales. A diagrammatic\napproach is used to discuss the quantum topology of the EPR paradox, particle\ndecays and scattering processes. A toy model of a self-referential universe is\ngiven.",
