I've been increasingly focused on the parallels between QM and how we build virtual worlds.
We have a number of virtual worlds where you have continuous spatial seed functions determining where things should be, but in a number of those worlds there's a feature of transformable geometry.
So they convert the continuous functions building out things like mountains or valleys into discrete units for which state changes can be tracked when interacted with by free agents.
Properly optimized, if these changes are not distinct from the state generated by the seed functions, the state is discarded.
So rather than focusing so far to the edges of consciousness collapse, I've been thinking more about the notion of free agency collapse.
That the universe converting from continuous wave functions to discrete units upon interaction (and converting back if persistent information about such interactions is erased) is tied to the inherent agency of the interactions. Effectively, if the consequence of Bell's paradox were superdeterminism, why convert to discrete units at all? Instead this may be an artifact of the existence of free will in how the universe tracks and handles state.
So whereas consciousness collapse puts a lot of heavy lifting on the poorly defined concept of consciousness and the subjective experience of the world, zeroing in on an interpretation centered around state management of free agent interactions gets to a similar result with potentially less amorphous baggage.
