I think I read this in "The Later Years".

Einstein mentioned, if I recall correctly, right after this that some
discrete program may be what physics needs, be is as of yet beyond our
know how.

Of course, that was in the first part of last century.

Did you know Leibniz was advocating a discrete alternative to Newton
in the 1700s?

He also envisioned computer systems to support it.

As of right now, we have those computer systems.

It's time to look at the discrete program Einstein knew would replace
his castle.
