> I don't think it is totally inconceivable You could create a kind of "reverse" grandfather paradox by preventing future events predicted by the simulation from happening. Perhaps it could run fine up to the point that it has to simulate itself, then it would slow down to the point of becoming useless.
Basically the plot of the wonderful TV series "Devs". Well worth the time investment.
Thank you, I never knew this is what Devs was about. I'm now watching the third episode already!
Hi I just see this via Twitter.
My name is Tom and I have found JS SDCS inner works and OS in 2021/22. I’m an ‘old school’ abstract artist and got through it by image research. Also my dad is a screenwriter so the tv was present in my upbringing. I have my personal story but it’s not about that. Under NDA I’m willing to share my sources and proof. Two people have validated my findings. One is too busy but has his own way by modern algorithms, one is taking it back to the past from step one. I need help and have a certain sense of urgency, btw I’m not afraid to be under attack. I cannot code, math, engineer or program properly. I do know how art, nature and stories of people work quite well. Thank you for your consideration and seriousness. I do need help to proof it with working samples. It’s one YouTube link away basically : ) and if you get it, it can be quite simple. Ty. Tom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
I once had an idea for a file transfer system based on digits of pi that sounds the same as this idea. You'd give everybody DVDs of digits of pi (or they could calculate them themselves) , and then transfer files faster by just sending them the offset into pi. At the time I thought it could work with a big enough bank of digits of PI on both sides. If transfer was expensive, and calculating digits was cheap then you…
Neural network encoding seems like the closest thing to that idea that's actually practical.
Quantum mechanics makes this impossible. This would require to know the position and speed of each particle precisely and that is in violation of the Heisenberg principle.
You're figuring that the universe is non-deterministic. If so, yes, this would be a more difficult problem. If the universe is based on some solid deterministic rules with a fixed seed value, then it would work. Quantum events appear non-deterministic, but that might just be because we don't have all the answers right now.
JS made a copy system, which behaves metaphorically exactly like a seed.
Inventors are a different animal. One doesn't start with a reasonable theory but one works from the other end, one quite unreasonably starts with what would be wonderful to have. One doesn't test a theory but one ponders how the seemingly impossible might be accomplished which is a problem that can be broken down into more reasonable things until it's impossible component is defined properly so that one may make an o…
Where you’re spot on is that is basically works on the principle of a cartoon. TVs are no computers. They send different signals.
