  This paper describes a type of infinitary computer (a hypercomputer) capable
of computing truth in initial levels of the set theoretic universe, V. The
proper class of such hypercomputers is called a universal hypercomputer. There
are two basic variants of hypercomputer: a serial hypercomputer and a parallel
hypercomputer. The set of computable functions of the two variants is identical
but the parallel hypercomputer is in general faster than a serial hypercomputer
(as measured by an ordinal complexity measure). Insights into set theory using
information theory and a universal hypercomputer are possible, and it is argued
that the Generalised Continuum Hypothesis can be regarded as a
information-theoretic principle, which follows from an information minimisation
principle.
