I have ran this idea by Bruno, once, where as God is a Boltzmann
Brain, popping out of where ever, like a virtual particle. He didn't
like it, needless to say. The BB would somehow pop with its own
false memories, and personality, I have read. A few internet kooks
conjecture that this BB would also encompass all our minds and the
multiverse as well. Mind numbing ain't it? In this email I have
stacked a unicorn, atop a dragon, atop a leprechaun, atop a smurf.
This is all fitting as Bruno hails from Belgium where the cartoonist
created the smurfs years ago.
Yes, but the Carrolian white rabbits works too.
In the arithmetical reality, you have all the BB, but also all the
diophantine approximation of all the real and complex dynamics. The
question is really, what is the FPI measure (the first person
indeterminacy measure) on all those BBs and dynamical digital
processes. Spontaneous BB might be "numerous", and yet "relatively"
rare compared to the winning measure (the one derivable from the
arithmetical points ov view).

How would you define "intelligence" for this thing?
Jupiter Brain / Omega Point / Result of post-singularity
intelligence explosion / Platonic mind with access infinite
computing resources / Dyson's sphere powered computer, take your
pick. It's capable enough to run a planet-wide simulation down to
whatever necessary detail it desires, and be able to infer any
being's thoughts on the planet by analyzing its brain activity.
Beyond that I'm not sure how to quantify or define its intelligence.
I think of intelligence as the ability to observe and infer and
learn. Of course the traditional God was not only the creator of
everything He was also a person who knew everything and so could
not learn anything.
Maybe this one is only a mere demi-god then. You can only say it
knows everything about its simulation.
1. Would you consider such a demi-god a theistic god for the
entities within its simulation?
Not necessarily. One of the defining characteristics of the theist
God is that He cares about human behavior (especially when they're
nude).
2. Can you rule out that some demi-god somewhere isn't simulating
this planet?
No.
3. Do you think the existence of such a demi-god follows from the
UDA/arithmetical realism?
Probably not. But in any case I'm not a fan of arithmetical
realism. Truth =/= existence.
