  • Watch the 2020 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate on Alien Life: • 2020 Isaac Asimov Memo...
    What may have started as a science fiction speculation-that perhaps the universe as we know it is a computer simulation-has become a serious line of theoretical and experimental investigation among physicists, astrophysicists, and philosophers.
    Neil deGrasse Tyson, Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, hosts and moderates a panel of experts in a lively discussion about the merits and shortcomings of this provocative and revolutionary idea. The 17th annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate took place at The American Museum of Natural History on April 5, 2016.

    @guillermoa.nerygomez8782 2 роки тому +14

    Well, there is an argument against the "simulation" conjecture. It's called Occam's Razor which is an important part of science. The idea is that if you are looking for an explanation for something, you should look for the simplest one able to account for all the facts. The reason is that the more unnecessarily complex it gets, the less probable it is the actual explanation. Here's why: Sometimes laws or rules that a universe follows are actually constraints on what can happen. Put in too many (complicate it too much that way) and you can constrain your reality out of existence (your model can't explain your universe). Other times, you might make so many things possible, in trying to be able to explain everything, that the amount of significantly different universes your model allows may be so immensely huge that the probability that it actually corresponds to your universe is infinitely small. Even more, that idea is related to a part of Physics called Thermodynamics, which explains why when you mix, say, water and sugar, the dissolved sugar never -on it's own- separates from the water again to form solid sugar crystals:
    A "state" is where each molecule is, how it's oriented, and what it's doing (rotating quickly in this direction, this part vibrating slowly, going quickly towards the right...)
    When you give the water and sugar the freedom of mixing, it opens up so immensely more actually possible sugar mixed with water states than there are possible sugar separate from water states that there is simply no significant chance that by random motion and change the sugar and water will reach a "being separate" state again.
    A "too free" model of the Universe will not give you your universe, but rather one of a much larger group. The "simulation" explanation seems to me as one of the latter, because while a simulation (purportedly "our universe") has to be simpler than the actual universe in which it is made, else it would not be computable, here the "actual universe" in this scenario would be a free for all of anything.
    Furthermore, this idea shouldn't make you lose sleep because even if you were in a simulation, as long as all those to which we relate are in the same and we are all truly sentient (conscious) and mortal, our relationships are real and an abrupt end to the simulation would simply be our turn to die. Additionally, it is questionable we even need to be truly conscious, as Bhuddists see ourselves as machines made of smaller parts, and if the parts are not conscious, there is no reason to think the whole is, so we only experience the illusion of consciousness. And yet they live their lives.
    As a final measure, you might also want to apply the "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" criterion -emphasis on "reasonable"-. Now, does that simulation idea hit you as reasonable, versus our understanding of a coherent, physical / chemical / biological law-"abiding" universe?
    Which brings us back to Occam's razor.

    What I took from the first lady’s speech about limited computational resources is they lack the tools to answer this question. And they can only begin to answer the question if they make a giant leap and assume the creators of this simulation are limited to finite resources. That’s like saying we have to assume Michelangelo only had black and white paint because we can only look at a limited portion of his masterpiece.

    They talked a lot about "bugs" in the universe but they seemed to ignore
    an important point. Bugs are relative to the intention of the creator.
    For all we know many of the things happening in our universe are
    actually "bugs", but we would never know it because we are not aware of
    the intentions of our creator (if there is one). We instead treat them
    as intended features of a perfect creator. Searching for bugs in the
    universe doesn't really make much sense unless you have knowledge of
    these intentions. You can, however, search for bugs in your own
    understanding of the universe, but I think this panel confuses those two
    ideas.

      I agree. Conversely, some things might very well be features of nature but look like bugs to us. When a pawn has reached the first rank of the opposite side of the board and becomes, say, a queen, it may seem like a "bug" for an observer who does not know the rules. When some exceptional cases appear that do not fit with the laws of nature derived from former observations and experiments, they can be considered as "bugs" in the universe, or we can revise our understanding of the nature and formulate new laws, theories and models to describe and explain them, then they are no longer "exceptional" but are included in the list of "natural" phenomena. The retrograde motion of planets had bugged ancient astronomers until the heliocentric model was proposed. The orbit of Mercury could not be explained by Newtonian mechanics but could be by general relativity. Dark energy may now seem like a glitch in gravity, but will very likely be explained by future scientists. It has actually been mentioned in the panel that scientists cannot prove anything, they can only provide the best explanation according to the data, information or evidence currently available, so scientific knowledge is constantly changing in response to newly discovered "inconsistencies". Since we do not have access to the "manual" or "program" of the universe (if it is simulated), we cannot know whether the inconsistencies are bugs or are due to our incomplete understanding of the underlying rules.

      " Searching for bugs in the universe doesn't really make much sense unless you have knowledge of these intentions. "
      Yes you would need a comparison? But sometimes you don't. There is a book entitled 'The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics' which is along the lines of our math is so good at describing our universe that it is 'unreasonably' good at it. That math should not be so effective a tool.
      But in the case of finding a bug in a system when one is inside that system with no comparison? Well, it might seem like there is no way to identify such a bug.
      You'd be surprised though.
      Plus bugs are one thing, things working as they should another. Both are potential categories of investigation.

For instance, I believe quantum entanglement ( Einstein’s spooky action at a distance) could be because time does not exist in the base reality from where our simulation is being projected. So speed of light, or speed limits may not exist outside of our simulation. But I could definitely be wrong. There seems to be some sort of connection between entangled particles that can completely break the laws of our universe.

      All physicists have to learn programming. Just like all engineers do. The only thing a developer, designer or programmer could add would be changes in languages, but the OSI model TCP/IP models are all the same in principal. Besides most computer programmers don't know about mainframe programming at the binary level which this string theory programming is referring to, nor about telecommunications through the different models for data transmission. Those other two disciplines are done by electronic engineers and computer science majors in the specialty of telecommunications.

What could a computer scientist really tell us about a machine built 600 years in the future?

    I just have to say one thing: I’ve taken Java 101 and C++ 101, and I know for a fact that all it takes to have anomalies is to write a method in your code that sets a value that picks a “random number” (it’s not really “random”, but that’s a WHOLE other discussion….) and then uses this “random” numerical value to say, for example: when the value equals 1 through 999,999,999…. Then you produce the typical result…. If the value equals 1,000,000,000; then run the anomaly. For any programmers out there: you know what I’m talking about when I say that it would likely be: “0-999,999,998”, and the anomaly would be on “999,999,999; but same difference to the layman. Anyway, if one wanted to run a program with anomalies like the existence of matter, one would simply have to produce a “random” number, and then run a “if then” and “else if” that allowed the program to produce an anomaly. This takes up VERY LITTLE processing power, and wouldn’t be hard for even “THIS GUY”, a C++ 101 student to code myself from scratch. I could run it EASILY on a computer from 1992 in MINUTES…. Just saying….

      A simulation in this case would be writing a computer program where the most import variables are the constants in the universe like the speed of light in outer space for example. Similar to a video game or some model making program. Then you hit enter and watch the code “simulate” the universe. Or multiple universes if you write code that would slightly change up your important constants every time.

    Our sense of continuity depends on our memory being consistent with the present. If an error occurs, the memory can always be rewritten, and as long as it was consistent it could be quite different and you would not be aware of discontinuity. The universe might be an objective simulation or automaton at the Planck level, but I don't think it's possible to remove the subjective element in practice. Of course, that applies to reality even if it isn't a simulation!

    Assuming we are in a simulation then we can only know the universe to the extent that the simulation parameters are discoverable by the program that governs our simulated brains. In other words…
    If those simulation parameters require an understanding of parameters outside of the simulation (in order to explore them further) then our consciousness or what we like to think of as “consciousness” is only within the context of the simulation itself and that creates an inherent limitation. Therefore we are not conscience in a true sense but only conscience within the context of our limited existence. We might take this analogy to a spiritual level and come to the conclusion that only God is truly conscience and the only creator of this simulation. In this sense, it can no longer be a simulation (as we define “simulation”) and is therefore rendered as our only reality as we can not match the consciousness of God.

    The guy on the left eluded to this, and I was thinking the same thing, that the universe appears to run as a simulation because of the codes or laws present in our universe. Whether these codes were predetermined/predefined is something altogether different. However, the fundamental question I had as a boy "how did everything begin from nothing" may be relevant here. How is it possible we're here, because that is impossible, yet not impossible because we are here. How can there be physical things around us that spawned from essentially nothing. Maybe it's not possible, and can only exist as an "idea" or "code", and that's what this whole thing is, a simulation that unfolds from a predetermined (or not) set of codes. Also, there are some anomalies that appear in our world that may indicate something strange is going on, such a the results of the double-slit experiment, where light changes from a particle to a wave if being measured by an outside observer. I used to believe that god did not exist. However, I have lately started to think that there may be a creator or designer or architect, not in the sense man has created, but something different. Everything appears too designed. From those exact numbers in nature that cannot deviate, to our own bodies. Look at some of the animations of DNA replication. It really appears as a designed biomechanical machine. How does taking thymine and connecting it to adenine, and guanine and connecting to cytosine, and put it together in a 6 billion strand specific sequence present a code to alter atoms to present themselves in a extremely complex structure that is in fact.....you. There is something going on here that is fantastic and beyond the confines of our human intellect.

      sure if you put it that way, it appears that the simulation hypothesis is unfalsifiable, but it's related to the computationable and informational universe paradigm, the question is, is information fundamental? if so, then it doesn't matter if we are simulated or not, cause in the information paradigm, there is no difference between a simulated phenomena and the phenomena itself, cause both are informational, and there is no real one!, heck putting it another way, explain to me what you mean by "reality"
      in QM, more and more scientists are saying that there is no such a thing as reality

    The fact that roughly 0.0007% of the world population have seen this video on this channel and I happen to be one of them, coupled with the fact that I am able to comprehend and understand damn near everything contained within it at my "young" age leaves me wondering where do I even go from here? Perhaps I need to pursue a career in psychology or physics or quantum theory or something because this all resonates so strongly with me. I'd love to have a sit down with each and every one of these individuals. I want to be surrounded with the thinkers. For as much understanding as I have, I would love to continue my wonderings and delve even deeper into this deeper side of existence. Whilst watching I jotted down (in a very barebones format) a bunch of relative areas to this discussion (and areas that aren't necessarily relative to the content here) that I love exploring and I'd like to put them forth here.
    -Quantum physics
    -String theory
    -Consciousness
    -Solopsism
    -Déjà vu
    -A.I.
    -DNA
    -Chaos theory
    -Butterfly effect
    -Pre big bang and post life
    -Reincarnation
    -Multiverse and how it is like a choose your own adventure story (I feel like this is similar to a save state in a game. Progress, or the opposite of, made after a save state can be simply undone by returning to the save state and continuing with a tweak, patch, or something of the sort. Which could explain why we can't find anomalies or corruption in the universe)
    -Foundational building of knowledge (think of how far we've come since Galileo and the other big thinkers of the past were here pondering life and existence)

      I have done, well, let's say "a lot" of research, and I have, well, "a lot" to comment on, and your post just happened to "set me off" (as it is the first one about religion)...First, the 26:40 Sagan quote is simply the thoughts of a person. I'm not saying he was or was not intelligent, simply that, ironically, just because he CLAIMS this, as he cannot PROVE it, it is not NECESSARILY a fact. To be clear, the keyword there is NECESSARILY. (I do not follow that only claims that CAN be proven with evidence are true). There have been theories that were proven true, and later exceptions were found. Hmm, a simple example...You can't see things in the dark [without fire]...[Fast forward, invention of electricity, then flashllight]. The theory was right, but the "law" was appended. The point is, and Lisa R. pointed this out, science DISproves theories; it rules things OUT, not necessarily in...Anyway: Eternal life (or any textual claims of ANY religion, to be purposefully broad) COULD be true. Although there is no evidence (and even if there were evidence AGAINST this), it could be true. (Even if it were proven false millions of times over, it could still be an exception). Personally, I believe that we (as a species) continue to "append" to our own rules. We have several words for it, too: "news", "discoveries", "inventions", etc. Whether a purposeful product of a creator or an accidental by-product of another, humans continue to smash our quarks together to append our own rules and theories to make sense of our environment. I agree with Neil in that it would be way too self-centered of us to believe we are the most intelligent that ever has been or will be. Further, as soon as WE have the power to do this, we will...Why then would we expect this not to have already happened of a more-capable entity?
      [edited] Realized I didn't reply to your other comments, and, well, this is fun, so:
      29:14 Zohreh - Watch Brian Greene, (ua-cam.com/video/bf7BXwVeyWw/v-deo.html). He is also published. Until I am as well, I'm going to keep my thoughts secret here. ;-)
      30:14 Lisa - Not sure why you pointed this out. It's a great point (and maybe that's why you've noted it). Simply put, she's right.
      34:07 Lisa again - "The computer couldn't keep track of stuff" is what interests me about this segment. I have to say I was appalled at how little this group as a whole had (probably HAS still - 2019) about technology), or at-least, if they DO have more knowledge than what was displayed, how little of it they applied in this debate. I felt like when really important concepts of how humans have evolved our technology came up, the group got silly and laughed it off (often literally), when actually the similarities between this evolution and how potentially we ourselves were created should, in my opinion, be researched thoroughly. Don't remember the mm:ss, but Max brings up Minecraft and the "seed" used Markus Persson (inventor of Minecraft) uses in his programming. I think there's a HUGE similarity to this concept and the creation (again, see Brian Greene). I'm aggravated that this topic was discussed by these great minds and technology was laughed at and brushed off like it was. There's another time when David C. (towards the end) mentions something (I may go back and find this because I think it's important to) and again the group laughs it off. At the very end, Lisa does it yet again (makes a comment about what is effectively "God's computer"). To Lisa: Our own technology unfolds exponentially year after year; how could we ever presume to comprehend "God's technology"? (I think of a floppy disk in the 90's versus the Citadel in Nevada (www.switch.com/the-citadel/). It's not just her, though. Throughout this entire debate, they all laugh this topic off as if to effectively say, "Do you know what kind of technology that would require? That's not even feasible." I see our creator laughing at these folks. Seriously, though, they should do this again with at-least one technology professional. 40:40 and 42:17, as you note, also are too-quickly brushed off by the group in my opinion.
      35:44 David - This is called Last Thursdayism. Note: www.last-thursday.org/ is a silly fake. Look it up elsewhere. The basic idea is that pre-human history (fossils, the photons coming from the really old universe, etc) were all planted at a given point in time purposely to - at even a subatomic level - factually prove their existence and creation at various times before the were created). Later David notes this concept again (towards the end), referencing the Jim Carrey film, the Truman Show. I kind-of believe this. Again: this can't be disproven and to even try is to believe I am, or WE as a species are, more-capable of fooling God. In-fact, this entire group sort-of implies that relating to "error-correction"....sort-of a "God had to made a mistake somewhere in the galaxy and we're going to find it! 4021 Max to Zohreh "Look for corner-cutting evidence". I'd say, "Umm, probably not. Probably. not, Mario." If you follow Neil's humorous analogy at the very end, that's like thinking your dog is going to figure out how to hack the password to your Amazon account so he can order more dog food...no..steaks. At the same time, though, I agree with Zohreh, that, as the dogs, we must keep trying...must keep looking. :-)

    Likewise, a far distant future intelligent beings that evolved technologically so well, can simulate us to see how their ancestors evolved, behaved, survived and innovated. While doing so, they'll not interfere with us, even if we attacked each other with nuclear bombs!

    Of course the universe looks like a simulation. It's because we make simulations so that they look like the universe.

      If we use the fact that the universe looks like a simulation as an argument that it is a simulation, that argument is not falsifiable, as no matter what kind of universe we found ourselves in, we would create simulations that look like that universe.

      +Lee Allers At large scales, that would seem like a possibility. However, once you get down to the level of quantum physics, things like the uncertainty principle become a problem.
      edit: To make a true complete simulation of a functioning universe would require the inclusion of the smallest possible scale and the computing power necessary for such a simulation would require more work than would be available in said universe...

      But then you get into the huge mess of...where did that universe come from? Is it some sort of simulation as well? etc. Personally, I'm one of those who sees no point in worrying about questions we will never be able to answer due to the physical limitations of our existence...and whether or not this is all a "simulation" is one of those questions...I've never seen a point to philosophizing simply for the sake of philosophizing...and am perfectly happy to leave that up to philosophy professors whose income depends on such wastes of time...

    Conservation of Spatial Curvature
    (Both Matter and Energy described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature. A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.)
    Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. An artificial Christmas tree can hold the ornaments in place, but it is not a real tree.
    String Theory was not a waste of time, because Geometry is the key to Math and Physics. However, can we describe Standard Model interactions using only one extra spatial dimension? What did some of the old clockmakers use to store the energy to power the clock? Was it a string or was it a spring?
    What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles? Fixing the Standard Model with more particles is like trying to mend a torn fishing net with small rubber balls, instead of a piece of twisted twine.
    Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
    “We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.” Neils Bohr
    (lecture on a theory of elementary particles given by Wolfgang Pauli in New York, c. 1957-8, in Scientific American vol. 199, no. 3, 1958)
    The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with some aspects of the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose, and the work of Eric Weinstein on “Geometric Unity”, and the work of Dr. Lisa Randall on the possibility of one extra spatial dimension? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics?
    When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). What if Quark/Gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks where the tubes are entangled? (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Charge" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry.
    Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Gluons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other.
    Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. The twist in the torus can either be Right-Hand or Left-Hand. Some twisted donuts can be larger than others, which can produce three different types of neutrinos. If a twisted tube winds up on one end and unwinds on the other end as it moves through space, this would help explain the “spin” of normal particles, and perhaps also the “Higgs Field”. However, if the end of the twisted tube joins to the other end of the twisted tube forming a twisted torus (neutrino), would this help explain “Parity Symmetry” violation in Beta Decay? Could the conversion of twist cycles to writhe cycles through the process of supercoiling help explain “neutrino oscillations”? Spatial curvature (mass) would be conserved, but the structure could change.
    =====================
    Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons?
    Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension?
    Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons
    . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The production of the torus may help explain the “Symmetry Violation” in Beta Decay, because one end of the broken tube section is connected to the other end of the tube produced, like a snake eating its tail. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process, which is also found in DNA molecules. Could the production of multiple writhe cycles help explain the three generations of quarks and neutrinos? If the twist cycles increase, the writhe cycles would also have a tendency to increase.
    Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves. ( Mass=1/Length )
    The “Electric Charge” of electrons or positrons would be the result of one twist cycle being displayed at the 3D-4D surface interface of the particle. The physical entanglement of twisted tubes in quarks within protons and neutrons and mesons displays an overall external surface charge of an integer number. Because the neutrinos do not have open tube ends, (They are a twisted torus.) they have no overall electric charge.
    Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms.
    In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137.
    1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface
    137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted.
    The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.)
    How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter?
    Why did Paul Dirac use the twist in a belt to help explain particle spin? Is Dirac’s belt trick related to this model? Is the “Quantum” unit based on twist cycles?
    I started out imagining a subatomic Einstein-Rosen Bridge whose internal surface is twisted with either a Right-Hand twist, or a Left-Hand twist producing a twisted 3D/4D membrane. This topological Soliton model grew out of that simple idea. I was also trying to imagine a way to stuff the curvature of a 3 D sine wave into subatomic particles.

    the preceding reality that gives birth to a simulation should always be more complex than the simulation it births. Similarly, if a simulation creates a simulation within itself, the computing power must be less than the simulaton that it came from. Therefore, if you are to explain the complexity in our universe with even more complexity through postulating a more complex higher reality, you are making the problem of explaining our universe harder, not easier. Its the same problem intelligent design has.

    Strong hints that we live in video games or the matrix or simulation
    1. Everythings on nature are based on math, algorithm and constant. Striking intention so it can be run on some kind of computer device
    2. Everythings on fundamental level are quantized, other means of digitized. Striking intention so it can be run on specific kind of computer device, which is digital computer
    3. It has distinct smallest unit of measures, not indefinately smaller. Similar to pixel in digital computer.
    4. It has efficient rendering technique. Which is only render things when it being observed by the player. Once player is not observing, it going back to code and algorithm without need to be materialized
    5. It has universal 'server tick' to synchronize everything and to avoid inconsistency around the simulated world. which is speed of light.
    6. Since space and time are the output of algorithm, Anything unrelated to wolrd rendering algorithm, are not bound with space and time and can communicate instantly since it run outside the rendering algorithm. Such as quantum entanglement
    7. Since almost everything is centered around the player, and almost everything is being rendered as per the player pbservation, not only future, but also any past time event is still on a form of code, and being rendered once the player is observing it. Thus, quantum delayed choice was happened
    8. When the player dies, it could goes to spectator mode. Since the player viewport is not necessarily hard coded to the rendered body.
    9. The player could go to different realm or mini games during sleep
    10. There are millions of account and eyewitness, testimoning about them being experiencing some kind of glitches in the matrix
    11. There are literal source code of higher level programming language, written and stored in every living things. That when compiled and run, it will create chemical nano machine that run autonomously based on previously written code.
    12. Religious text that literally said "surely, this worldy life is just a game play, and the hereafter is better for the piety, dont they think it?"

    The mistake they make is in thinking that 'error correction' is a stand alone, observable function, when it could easily be a part of a bigger function that just happens to error correct. I.E. A swiss army knife is primarily a blade, but it can also unscrew things. When the blade is put away, and the screwdriver comes out, it can be hard to visualize both these functions as being part of the same 'system' and without knowledge of what a swiss army knife is, you may see either a knife, or a screwdriver, depending on your perspective. More of a computational simulation perspective, but somewhat overlooked.
