I replied on discord that I feel there’s maybe something more formalisable that’s like:
reality runs on math because, and is the same thing as, there’s a generalised-state-transition function
because reality has a notion of what happens next, realityfluid has to give you a notion of what happens next, i.e. it normalises
the idea of a realityfluid that doesn’t normalise only comes to mind at all because you learned about R^n first in elementary school instead of S^n
which I do not claim confidently because I haven’t actually generated that formalisation, and am posting here because maybe there will be another Lesswronger’s eyes on it that’s like “ah, but...”.
