All I am saying is that there are a lot of things in the universe that lend themselves to the idea that the universe behaves, in many ways you might think a simulation would behave.

I am not saying it IS a simulation, but perhaps for other reasons- some deeper reality- it shares some of the limitations and considerations a simulation would have.

For instance, the concept of information seems to be deeply ingrained in the fabric of the universe... there were all the quantum and general relativity concepts that I outlined in another recent thread that lend themselves to being interpreted as computational shortcuts.

All I am saying is that MAYBE it would be worthwhile for theorists to approach things from that angle- start with an assumption that it is effectively a simulation and look for testable implications of this. And then look for ways to 'Hack' it...
