If your state space is 16 bits, then you can create a 4x4 2-dimensional space or a 2x2x2x2 4-dimensional space, but the total space is still 16 bits. You cannot simulate a 32-bit state space on a machine with only 16 bits of memory, regardless of how many dimensions the simulated space has.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoOk a precision argument I understand. But the number of states will grow geometrically. And also, we use multiple words to create larger numbers all the time in simulation. I'm not sure how important this is at all.
- fallingfrog 10y agoI'm not talking about 32 bits of precision; I'm talking about 32 bits of data. If you only have 16 bits then the number of unique states you can represent is 65536, and it does not matter how you divide that up into dimensions.
