Not mine, actually, it was Feyman's.  ^_^

Since Fujishima decided to use string theory, I'm
going to stick with the analogies the string theory
community uses to explain themselves. 

Given the fact that Yggdrasil is a computer, an
analogy of a bit stream from Yggdrasil (Nidhog as
well?) feeding (programming?) the superstring would be
a good idea. I have no idea of an analogy to explain
the emulation/reconstruction bit, though. It's obvious
Yggdrasil isn't just a data processor if it can do
stuff like that.
