The inventor of the term 'black hole', John Wheeler, has a gift for memorable phrases. 'Getting its from bits' is another of his creations. It refers not to an object, but to a vision of a world derived from pure logic and mathematics. That vision has to a remarkable extent been embodied in modern physics - here is a progress report.
