This line of argument was discussed on the everything-list a few years
ago. From memory, the conclusion was that QM uncertainty was unlikely
to be due this extra noise, but I'm not a hundred percent certain of
this. The best reference in the archives I could find of this
discussion was:

I agree that extra bits in the "program" would tend to appear as noise
rather than some miracle like a fire breathing dragon. Is it then
assumed that the magnitude of this noise is unlikely
Apparenly the mailing list software does not like "unsubscribe" in the

Thanks for pointing out the typo on the web page. I've fixed it now.

Hello,
A few comments on your post.
If I interpret correctly, you are basically distinguishing "dualistic"
interpretations from a "materialistic" ones.
When we talk of a materialistic viewpoint, what *are* we talking about?
Is it our vague conception that everything is made of atoms what constitu

it was expected that the vacuum behaves

and in general entanglements are sensible
to Lorentzian boosts (but not much)

An interesting idea.
Where can I read a more comprehensive justification of this
distribution?
If a number of programs are isomorphic the inhabitants naturally won't
know the difference. As to whether we call this one program or lots of
programs seems to be a question of taste and IMO shows th
