But in a simulation, not in reality.
So you do (bad) theology. You talk like if we knew already what reality is. But with
comp reality is anything Turing complete. So here you do an implicit metaphysical
assumption, which is inconsistent with mechanism. No problem ... as long as you are
aware of this.
I was being sarcastic, since Jason other places assumes simulation and reality are
indistinguishable.
