Reality is changing as we speak. Every time someone makes a pocket laser pointer they are increasing the probability that coherent light is appearing in the universe spontaneously. The National Ignition Facility is increasing the probability that nuclei are sticking together in places where the current temperature is 85 degF. Physics doesn't address this apparent change in the odds over time very well (the self-organizing nature of the universe) because the 'game' these hardware-handicapped guys (physicists) ignore involves the theory of information states (which is central to the act of "observation").

Information, the logic of the "is" and "ain't" state, can be expressed a quantum bits - refer to any quantum computing article.

That state is bound by the rules of the medium in which it exists (space-time). You don't need to make things unnecessarily complex, dude (pardon the pun).

Current diffractive optics experiments says that our physical space is provably spectrally continuous (based upon optical wave mechanics) from at any resolution over which you can get phase-lock. It is down to femtosecond level(10e-15 seconds)...
