- zild3d 5y agocomplexity and simplicity seems pretty biased to human understanding? Just as a thought experiment, I'd propose that our universe and the human experience is incredibly simple. Humans were only given a limited number of senses so that the simulation can be run in this "low fidelity". Compared to the thousands of senses a level or two up. We also are simulated in a simple linear time model, only able to experience a single time at once, greatly reducing the complexity and fidelity needed. Same for the number of dimensions we are able to sense.
- lorepieri 5y agoYes, you need to remain inside the reference class of human simulations, so in a sense there is a bias in where do you want to draw the line of what's a human simulation. But once you do it, the result in not ambiguous.
