SO I'M STUck IN THiS DESERT FOR ETERNITY. I DONT KNOW WHY. I JUST WOKE UFP HERE ONE DAY. I NEVER FEEL HUNGRY OR THIRSTY I JUST wALK. SAND AND RoCKS STRETCH TO INFINITY. AS BEST AS CAN TELU THERE'S PLENTY OF TME IVE REDERIVED FOR THINKING OUT HERE. MODERN MATH PHYSICS, TOO I WORKED OUT THE KINKS IN QUANTUM MECHANICS AND RELATIVITY IN THE SAND ToOK A LOT OF THINKING, BUT THIS PLACE HAS FEWER DISTRACTIONS THAN AN ETERNITY, REAY. AND THEN SOnE A SWI5S PATENT OFFIcE. WITH THE RIGHT SET OF RULES ANDBUILD A CoMpUTER ENOUGH SPACE, EACH NEW ROW I WAS PBLE TO ONE OAY I STARTED LAYING DOWN RONS oFFOLLOWED FROM THE LAST IN A SIMPLE PATTERN. | | . . :::| | STONES IS ENEr ITERATION OF THE SURE, ITS RocKs INSTEAD OF ELECTRICTY BUT ITS THE SAME AFTER A WHILE, T PROGRAMMED IT TO BE A PHYSICS SMU- LATOR. EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION ABOUT A PARTICLE WAS ENCODED AS A STRING OF BITS WRITTEN IN THE STONES. WITH ENOUGH TIME AND SPACE, I COULD FULLY SIMULATE TWO PARTICLES INTERACTING 루 TURIN 5-COMPLETE ooiojoi0 BUT I HAVE INAINITE SO I DECIDED TO SIMULATE A UNIVERSE ME AND SPACE. THE EONS BLUR PAST AS I WALK DOWN A SINGLE Row THE ROwS BLUR PAST TO AND N THE ANOTHER INSTANT COMPUTE A SINGLE STEP SIMULATION TICKS BY. SO IF YOU SEE A MOTE OF DUST VANISH FRoM YOUR VISION IN A LITTLE FLASH OR SOMETHING IM SORRY. I MUOST HAVE MISPLACED A ROck っへ SOME ME IN THE LAST a FEW BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF MILLENNIA IF YOU THINK THE MINUTES IN YOUR MORNING LECTURE ARE TAKING A LONG TIME TO PASS FOR YOU… OH, AND...

DO YOU THINK THE REAL SIMULATED REALITY? QUESTION IS WHE THER WE CAN SIMULATE REALITY HERE F WE CAN MAKE A SIMULATION THEN WE RE NOT IN THE LEAST COMPLICATED AND F THAT SIMULATION CAN CONTAIN ANOTHER SIMULATION THEN WE'RE NT LEAST TWO FROM THE BOTTONM REALITY F WE ASSUME EACH SIMULATION IS, AT MOST ONE THOUGANDTH THE SIZE OF THE UNIve TS IN, AND THAT THE SMALLEST POSSIBLE VOLUME FROM THE PERSPECTIVe OF OUR UNIVERSE IS ONE PLANCK-VoLUME THEN WE ARE... ‘lit FROM THE BOTTOM! %261 SIMULATIONS ABOVE US2 WELL FOR THAT WE'D JUST HAVe To FIND SIGNS THAT WE RE OPTIMIZED FOR GOOD COMPUTATION LIKE MAYBE A MINIMUM TEMPERATURE OR A MAXIMUM SPEED OR A RULE THAT POSITION AND MoMENTUM ARE ONLY KNOWABLE TO CERTAIN TOLERANCES OH MY GOD/ I'M JUST A PROGRAM AND I'M NOT EVEN A GOOD ONE. HEY NOw THAT'S NOT TRUE. THE UNIVERSE IS A PROGRAM. YOURE JUST A SUBROUTINE
