We observe that our universe uses a reversible
computation, yet our brains only
appear to use irreversible computation.
It seems important to ask why. Is it possible for SASs to live in a universe that is directly associated
with an irreversible computation? If
so then why are we special?
e
if your claim holds. We can add to this the strong evidence that our universe is
open and very close to being "flat".
Kindest regards,

In answer to the original question, I would conjecture that an
evolutionary process is the only process capable of generating
complexity. Since we need a certain amount of complexity to be
conscious, it follows that the simplest universes are ensembles of
possibilities, on

Dear David,
Please explain the claim : We observe that our universe uses
No - I think in terms of ensembles of descriptions. Some of those
descriptions describe observers observing the descriptions. It then
becomes natural to ask what sort of description an observer might see,
given the description must describe the observer.
