Biological simulation is not perfect, one needs only look at people considered colour blind because they interpret certain frequencies differently than the majority. It is not a matter of right or wrong but a biological interpretation/simulation. A somewhat different biology, simulates a somewhat different apparent realty. — boagie
don't howl at me, you bafoon, or is it baboon? Lots of monkey talk, ensues... — Varde
Are you a monkey? Considering your short monkey-like comment, this seems to be the case. — LaRochelle
The program rules simulate a physics for a simulated world. Simulation programs themselves, however, must be consistent with real world physics (e.g. Universal Turing machines). — 180 Proof
The simulated agents within the simulated world cannot "break its rules" – change the program. Real agents are not subject to the enabling-constraints of their simulations. No "paradox", just sloppy "thinking". — 180 Proof
No "paradox", Fool, just more sloppy "thinking". — 180 Proof
Sloppy. As. Fuck. :sweat:A gravity-obeying machine can generate a world (the simulation) where gravity-defying feats can be accomplished. — TheMadFool
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
