Reminds me of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloot_Digital_Coding_System The Sloot Digital Coding System is an alleged data sharing technique that its inventor claimed could store a complete digital movie file in 8 kilobytes of data — which, if true, would dramatically disprove Shannon's source coding theorem, a widely accepted principle of information theory that predicts how much data compression of a digital file…

is this yet another tech hoax?

God sees all the space at once (this is an “all knowing” part).
But we are left with the choice of which turn to take at every moment (this is the “free will” part), which picture to draw, which movie to create (this is the “in god’s image” part) etc.
From human perspective there is no difference if you create or explore the phase space. Just a wordplay. Because by definition you can’t distinguish those.

This is really interesting thought. Could someone help me understand where I'm going wrong? Because I assume that Sloot made the same mistake that I'm making here, and I'm struggling to understand the Shannon's source code theorem article, so I'm thinking in practical terms: If you wanted any movie in 1080x768, and wanted to have it in full colour, that would be 16,777,216 possible colours per pixel, so the number of…

There is a small mistake in the formula: the actual cardinality of the noise database would be 16777216 ^ (1024 * 768), which is a much bigger number.
Here is a number that has all those pictures encoded: π
