It would depend on a high number of factors, wouldn't it? You'd need to consider the possibilities of solipsism and if everything is always loaded in, or if instead things are only in existence when looked at
- Threeve303 5y agoMaybe the speed of light is the equivalent to how long it takes to load from storage
- breuleux 5y agoThat would imply the computer we are simulated on is isomorphic to the 3D universe it is simulating, i.e. that if A and B are close in the simulation, the storage for A and B are physically close in the simulator, and that the storage moves as the objects move. Otherwise the speed of light would vary from a place to another.
- karmakaze 5y agoNone of that matters if the simulation only has access to simulated time--e.g. a vm with access to a clocksource but not a 'real' time one.
- breuleux 5y agoComputers have to run even when we're not looking at them, at the very least.
- karmakaze 5y agoFor factors, choose the way that minimizes the size of the host machine, while keeping the result meaningful, e.g. each living human is a distinct interactive member.
