Alchemical study isn't in my bag, or at least hasn't been something that I've read or digested much of in 30+ years. As someone that spends a significant amount of time debugging code, I'm having a hard time really grasping the concept short of the few parallels drawn in your document, of which we might say the same things about say, sciences and engineering, etc,.
I'm curious how to draw the conclusion that the digital world and astral reality "live together". I might need a clearer understanding of that statement. The Astral, Ethereal, and Physical planes have specific interrelationships. I guess I could see virtual realities as something we experience with our imagination and perhaps could assist with creation of thought-forms but I'm curious about the idea that a digital reality is some new world that lives together with the astral. The Digital World to me, is very deterministic except where there might be bugs, or we're given specific creative license in the form of generating content but I don't see the digital world as influencing the physical however... as we expose the digital world, and programs we do know that they can influence our emotions, they can generate content in the real world (i.e. 3d Printing), but how does that translate to programming having a relationship with Alchemy?
Perhaps I'm thinking too close mindedly.
It's an interesting start. I'm not entirely sold on the idea but more specifically because you've only discussed a few parallels and, at the moment, I fail to see how identifying these correlations can benefit either the alchemist or the programmer.
P.s.
Link to your book for anyone curious....
