How would more data and software live in reality? What would the Great Generalized Google Maps project include, in what order? What data structures would it use for more abstract things?
Per above, we’d need tighter feedback loops/quicker updates, appropriate markings of when content/procedures become outdated, some ability to compare various elements of constructed realities against the ground truth whenever the ground truth becomes known, etc. (Consider if Google Maps were updating very slowly, and also had some layer on top of its object-level observations whose representations relied on chains of inferences from the ground-true data but without quick ground-true feedback. That’d gradually migrate it to a fictional world as well.)
The general-purpose solution is probably some system that’d incentivize people to flag divergences from reality… Prediction markets?
