>a really aggressive "deterministic evolution of future world states"
What would it be if not deterministic? Chaotic sure, but that just means things are very sensitive to initial conditions. Unless we extend those initial conditions to include quantum uncertainty then things are pretty much deterministic.
Of course that idea goes out the window depending on your opinions on free will.
- goatlover 5y agoEven if it's entirely deterministic above the quantum/micro level, that doesn't mean we can predict anything without computing the entire future world, just like in the game of life. Also, the wavefunction is deterministic, so you could in principle compute the many worlds, but that wouldn't tell us which one we will observe.
