Not that I have actual relevant technical knowledge or anything, but why would it be in the relatively small amount of space and time shortly following the Big Bang, as opposed to the vastly larger entire rest of the universe?
Not sure, actually; thanks for the question. The rest of the universe might contain proportionally less computation due to lower temperatures, but probably not enough to make up the difference in duration.
Inherent paradoxes of causal-loop-style time travel aside, isn’t the Big Bang where a Boltzmann brain is most likely to be in the first place?
