Is empty space also a computer, because while we might naively interpret it as "all zeros", with the proper location and time-dependent mapping, it can be seen to be running Doom?
- jamesrom 4y agoExactly this. You can encode a computer anywhere, given your own definition of "computer". Getting your computer to compute, there's the rub.
