Hello, I'm new here
Hello everyone. I've been reading about simulation hypothesis, mathematical universe, quantum reality, and time theories for a few years now. I like Anthony Peake, Shaun Carrol, Max Tegmark, Rizwan Virk, and some other general stuff around all this.
I've come to a realisation. Not sure if this has been reached before but it is;
We are a 3D manifestation of Conway's game of life. We are simply the GoL writ large or writ in an extra dimension.
We are in a computer, we are a self-similar fractal pattern that has not yet died out as some GoLs do.
We are just shooting off from this original set of rules/programme/code, and are living the GoL.
Those who can perceive 4, 5, 6D see this GoL played out differently with all the other quasi-crystal layers of whatever dimension they exist in/may perceive.
I'm very hopeful that there is meaning to life but I think this is the most likely or most apparent conclusion of what this existence is.

You are on a pitch that I am into. So welcome. Start a thread about this shit! Metaphysics is the spot.
Regarding the simulation hypothesis, you could do worse than immerse yourself in my web front: www.androcies.com
I would recommend reading from the headings left to right (u can skip the cyberpunk stuff if not interested) the poetry delves in to the homophonic and logical anomalies within the English LAN_GAUGE...the common protocol for mans communication.

Or you could do better and google Bostrum's Simulation paper.

Re: Hello, I'm new here
Oh Arising, if only Bostrom had a an actual clue about Y we would be in a simulation. And second to that, if only he had witnessed proof that there actually is a 3rd party intelligence behind the construct of reality.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 1:48 pm Or you could do better and google Bostrum's Simulation paper.
Do you really think he has more to offer someone interested in the concept?

The question then becomes who or what is feeding the stimulation to the Brain in a vat?Impenitent wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 12:39 am Brains in vats (and variations) have been around for a while...

Re: Hello, I'm new here
(Skepdick\evejanelucille) why doesn't Bostrom present a logical reason as to WHY we would exist within a simulation?
