The article was just a place holder as I couldn't dig up Wheeler's own words.

    "Wheeler's view comes dangerously close to relativism, or worse."

It from bit. Where is relativism in that?

    There may be an absolute truth, but I guarantee we'll never discover it with our senses .. mathematical ..

It is precisely mathematics that asserts that we will never be able to communicate absolute truth. Our sensory systems are constrained. They cycle; they have bandwidth. Of course, sensation will never permit perception of the absolute.
