This is an incredibly deep observation that essentially points to the problem with the representations we use to understand the Universe. It feels like the universe is essentially showing us that there is a non-supra-linear representation it uses (based on the kinds or fields of interactions?), and that calculating within this representation (between fields?) is somehow equivalent to calculating all of the interactions for the objects across all of the fields simultaneously.
Almost feels like it's related to P=NP or logic and meta-logic. Is it fundamentally impossible to use the same 'Universe'-al representation inside the Universe, a Gödel-like result limiting us only to the real? Or can we represent and run subsets of smaller universes within without a computational explosion? If so, does it eventually revert back to becoming fundamentally impossible at some limit, and if so, are we there yet? Can we measure how far from the limit we are, somehow?
Fun questions. Thanks for the provocative clarification.
