I am all in favour of removing this cumbersome proposal of a simulation or self-simulation hypothesis. My inclination is to argue for an improv comedy interpretation of the universe. Nature can do each of the known computations and logics to us. Those logical systems emerged over time in the universe too. Maybe, in a way, non-algorithmic facets of the universe emerged as an outcome of computational processes and then existed in their own right in each individual mind. It’s not that minds were present in the universe, but are present in the universe if we shift the definition of a non-algorithm view and non-origin state for minds to play a role in the universe while this raises a third state of indeterminacy to the universe: the universe’s lack of complete self-interaction with ontological incompleteness, our ways of tapping into it with observation and scientific methodologies for epistemological incompleteness, and the problem of choice creating instability in determination of the future state of the local worldline(s) of the universe and so the universe (which is neither ontological incompleteness nor epistemological incompleteness, but localized worldline/spatiotemporal incompleteness). Quantum logic laid the groundwork for a larger more classical logic to play out in classical physics. I have increasingly grown into the view that atheism and theism are in some sense delimits of a more base representation of the universe, where each definition breaks down into meaninglessness or convergence in some sense. Improv comedy is “Yes, and…” The universe is pulling a joke on us.
