Proof that physics = witchcraft with equations.
Maybe programming (implementing simulations in programs) would be
better.
Note that if Mechanism is correct, the physical reality cannot be
emulated by a computer. The reason is that if “we” can be emulated
by a computer, physics has to be reduced into a statistic on *all*
computations,
Why "all". We can only experience a finite number of
thoughts/feelings/etc.
For a fraction of a second, maybe. But for more, you need to take
into account the infinitely many computations executed in the
universal dovetailing (aka the sigma_1 truth).
Take a universal machinery phi_i. A computation is a sequence
phi_u(j)^s with s = 1, 2, 3, …, (s numbers the steps) and for u some
universal number. By the fact that all programs recurs infinitely
often in the universal dovetailing, + the fact that the first person
cannot be aware of the step-time delays of the universal dovetailer,
to get the physical (statistical) prediction right, you need to take
into account the infinitely many programs running you. The first
person dynamical experience is always a statistic on all infinitely
many relative computational histories.
A statistic on an infinite set can be (and usually is) finite
What does that mean?
A statistic is a function whose argument is a data set and whose value
is a number, e.g. Average is a statistic.
You will need some measure on an infinite space to do the math. It
will usually contain a continuum of open set on some non enumerable space.
I don't need anything. You're the one who's claiming physics is a
statistic.
Brent
(although it's not clear what "statistic" you mean...or is it just
metaphor).
It means the same as in the WM duplication, except that your relative
continuation is all computations (including all oracles) going
through your actual state. Cf step 7 of the UDA.
And if we compute the statistic we can compute our experience.
The net result is not computable, like with a coin in practice, or
like with a quantum coin in both theory and practice. We can compute
the distribution, but not the outcome per se of the experience.
