We fall into some precarious befuddlement when we start thinking about computation and our universe.
Is our universe an analog one or a digital one? (Or a mix where space is discrete but time isnt, etc, see plancks constant..)
Now, if our universe is analog. But powered by a digital conputer. The only way to simulate analog is by using an extra dimension....time. in fact, one possible hypothesis for quantum waveform collapse is that since are affecting an analog, the pertubation is infinitely hard to compute, so just nip it in the bud and return a digital value.
Anyho..think about that for a while.. :-)
