21 pages ... and a very worthy read. (Thanks to Sifter).
Ultimately : what IS this mechanism of control? ...from a scientific stance (not metaphysical).

the emergence of the physical world from information processing, Brian Whitworth, 27Nov2010
Twelve reasons to think the physical world is a virtual reality 8-9
"One of the mysteries of our world is how every photon, electron or quark seems to just “know”what to do at each moment. Super-computers running a million-million cycles per second currently
take millions of seconds (months) to simulate not just what one photon does in a million-millionth of a
second, but in a million-millionth of that (Wilczek, 2008) (p113). How do these tiniest bits of the
universe, with no known structures or mechanisms, make the complex choices they do? How can one
photon in effect do all that processing? A later chapter attributes this ability to information copying.
Other reasons the physical world could be a virtual reality include..."
