That's a strange inversion, though. As far as we know, computational constraints (memory-time tradeoff, entropy/information theory) are all due indirectly to fundamental physical constraints. That is, the concept of something being a 'simulation' sort of implies it is inheriting constraints from an outside reality. If you then say the outside reality is a simulation, you can't explain all of it's constraints in terms of computational artifacts, because that contradicts it being a simulation.

- atemerev 9y agoNo, like I said, I am not interested in answering the question whether our world is a "simulation". I am interested in exploring whether the somewhat "counterintuitive" formulations of quantum mechanics can be derived from "simpler" models and constraints (and I am acutely aware that I am not the first one to be burned with such a gargantuan task).
