For example, I am a little confused by the reality fluid section but if it’s just the probability an output is real, I feel like we can’t just arbitrarily decide to 1/n^2 (justifying it by ocaams razor doesn’t seem very mathematical and this is counterintuitive to real life). This seems to give our program arbitrary amounts of precision.
Furthermore associating polynomial computational complexity with this measure of realness and NP with unreal ness also seems very odd to me. There are many simple P programs that are incomputable and NP outputs can correspond with realness. I’m not sure if I’m just wholly misunderstanding this section, but the justification for all this is just odd, we are assuming because reality exists, it must be computable essentially?
Intuitively simulating the universe with a quantum computer seems very hard as well. Don’t see why it would be strange for it to be hard. I am not qualified to evaluate that claim, but it seems extraordinary enough to require someone with the background to chime in.
Furthermore, don’t really see how you can practically get an Oracle with Turing jumps.
I’m not sure how important this math is for the rest of the section, but it seems like we use this oracle to answer questions.
where did you get to in the post? i believe this is addressed afterwards.
Is it?
It seems like this assumption is used later on.
