Seasons

This is a forum or general chit-chat, small talk, a "hey, how ya doing?" and such. Or hell, get crazy deep on something. Whatever you like.

By "the Lord", BJ, do you mean some big quantum computer?

18 years ago #4597
That is only an analogy, for finite minds are incapable of anything else when faced by infinite Reality. But in essence, yes - a quantum computer with an infinite number of qubits. Or at least the sum of its computations expressed as a conscious process.

So, that "Nd3" might have been the Lord thinking, "I think I'll make myself a ham sandwich", or rather, something analogous to that?

I guess anything's possible. But it might just as likely be mapped to a subroutine's processing of some necessary emulation. Or anything else. With infinite computational power, work and play become perfectly transmutable with no loss of efficiency in the processing.

What is it that's being computed?

18 years ago #4602
Everything. Everyone. Reality itself. What else could you do with infinite processing power?

What would I do with infinite processing power?
I guess I could solve some 'recursively unsolvable' problems and tell my friends the answers.

18 years ago #4605
But without an infinite mind to solve the problems and understand the answers, you could not harness the power. We are just subroutines, not the full program.

He's definitely on something - BJ may be playing fairly conventional chess here, but you should see what he's inflicting on the general public he chats with now!
