My soul as a computer programmer cries out against the idea of representing N particles with N^2 distances between them; it seems wasteful.
Even if the laws of physics are completely minimal with no absolute basis, it doesn’t mean the people running the simulation couldn’t program it in terms of absolute numbers, if that were easier. :)
