At the most basic level reality is a discrete digital particle arithmetic with no need for further calculations in a block universe. At a higher level it is analog in the realm of quantum waves and fields including the electromagnetic field and perhaps some bosons And at the highest/physical leve

Your robot do not have time to know the true truth. He would not speculate on the nature of his programmer, or why he is here. At least until the problems of survival are solved by means of a stable collaboration. Even so, he never could have the opportunity to know the programmer. He donĀ“t know th
