369810613: shit man i just had a thought
369810613: actually influenced by what you said about the tessellator
369810613: ok you know this whole "what if the universe was a computer program" thing?
369810613: which i think doesn't work because you'd need X amount of matter outside of the universe in order to "run" the stuff that "runs" the universe
369810613: ok
369810613: but
369810613: wait for limited matter you can get infinite implications
369810613: i.e.
369810613: if you draw two points in space, the theoretical subdivisions of that space are infinite
369810613: even if the material between those physical points is finite
spenot! (375466015): theoretically, yes
369810613: so why couldn't whole super-complex universes have totally conceptual integrity and reality within the finite bounds of this universe
369810613: or even finite subdivisions of this universe
369810613: see what i mean...? if you brought together limited matter that had a certain effect of infinite complexity
369810613: and i don't mean in terms of 1s and 0s stored on physical media or CPU processes
369810613: i mean
369810613: by their very nature of being in some or other way, there's a simultaneous implication of conceptual reality, which would be indistinguishable from "real reality" as we like to call it for, say, some sentient mind looking from within this reality
