What did you mean by "reading numbers"?
I imagine the UD as a kind of 'playhead' or 'read head' in a digital
device that scans encoded information. The difference of course
being that there is no output. The lack of output is correlated with
the 'block time' concept somehow.
OK, but there is no inputs too. If the UD is written in the form of a
Turing machine, the rubber is empty at the start.
The Prolog interpreter demo you gave suggests the algorithms are
'generated' but I am suggesting they already exist ("everything
exists")
Yes, but that would make the talk confusing. If something is generated
by the algorithm in due course, it does not need to be presented to
the algorithm. No input, really means, in computer science, that the
Turing machine is given an empty rubber.
There are always bit of convention, given that input/output is a
relative notion, but that is why we like (in computer science) to be
locally very specific (just to prevent possible misunderstandings).
and are merely scanned or read by the Universal Song Pointer Line
which is at all positions simultaneously and, presumably, eternally
(whatever 'eternally' could possibly mean in a block universe.)
Eternally can mean two things here. True in all space-time regions in
the block multiverse, or atemporal, like the whole block multiverse
itself.
