Abstract
No one was more tenacious in focussing on the role of information in nature than the late John Archibald Wheeler. His issue of ``It from Bit" contrasts with the ``Bit from It" that has continued to hold many fi ne minds in a vise{like grip. To break this and present our view, we take a global historical attitude and extend from `bit' to `qubit' to `pattern' itself. Thus, ``Pattern from Stuff " and Kepler's ``Giant Clockwork" are to be replaced by the arche ``all Stuff comes from Pattern", i.e.,``the Music of the Spheres." Here we set the stage for a Pattern theory.
