The universe is a digital simulation confirmed
there's lots of physics that cannot be described in algorithmic terms, and (as best I misunderstand it) quantum is the most that
QM is entirely algorithmic, it just operates on values that are of type "Probability Distribution"
sure, if you say so
Are you implying that's wrong or you just don't know
i'm just kinda skeptical of suggesting we live in a computer simulation
tens of thousands of years ago, people looked up into the night sky or a raging tempest and projected human-like traits onto it.
Now instead of seeing an angry father figure in the stars, we're surrounded by computers so we look up (or down, in quantum cases), and see a desktop environment. It's... awful convenient.
I wasn't suggesting that, I just meant that a theory can be algorithmic while working with probability distributions rather than deterministic values.
