If the universe is a computer simulation couldn't you theoretically

Bump for interest

>>58868101
It's not

>>58868101
yeah just plug your usb cable into the ether so you can upload into the system

Well, we would need to find a way to debug within the simulation first.

>>58868101
it's what physicists do all day everyday

>>58868101
that could be possible had the simulation been written in C

Impossible to do since god created the code and it's perfectly fine tuned billions of years before your stupid face popped into this simulation

>>58868101
its written in haskell so no

>>58868101
If you design a program inside of the simulation, than the program is part of the simulation, that means it is part of the simulated world.
Its like a stickman on a peace of paper draw other objects around him. Those objects will always be two dimensional, regardless how realistic and plastic the objects look. Its hard to think the dimensional (not only spational) transition between this intelligent stickfigure and our world.

>>58868101
But that would mean the universe the computer is running in is also a simulation, then you'd have to start from scratch again

>>58868772
No it wouldn't.

>>58868787
And why not? If it's possible on one level why cant it be interpolated to infinity? Program in a program in a program in a program in a program....

>>58868764
same person
But, the stickfigure could transfer information to us, which can bring us to modify the paper itself, for example cut it in another shape.

>>58868836
It's entirely possible that the universe this simulation exists in is also a simulation but by no means does this universe being a simulation mean that the parent universe is definitely a simulation as well.

you could if it had a binary command in rhe simulation, alternatively you'd have to find a bug to hain root access

>>58868868
I see it this way: if this universe is no simulation, then it ends there, which means that for some awkward reason in an infinite pool of non-existence there has been the miracle of existence popping up which are divided in two.
The other scenario is that if this universe were a simulation ( it doesn't necessarily need to be a computer) and you manage to flee, you'd end up in a universe where the possibility of simulating are very real, thus creating a higher chance that they could also be victim of simulation. In a sense we have the same phenomenon, look at one of our 'simulated worlds' eg a Mario game. For our understanding it is bare-boned and you can say that it's in no way a sophisticated simulation, but if you were that plumber having dreams of having Sex with peace and hate going to work everyday jumping on global and wonder what created him, he would be in the exact situation I am talking about. A program in a program, each instance more complex than the last. You only seeing the representation of the information shown by the simulation doesn't mean there could be more depth in it, maybe all your creator sees from you is percentages of shitting , sleeping and masturbation and not the whole life in between those numbers

Only God has sudo privileges. Humans are not in the sudoers list.

The retards at CERN trying to smash atoms are equivalent of compiling and installing Gentoo to get out of the proprietary universe.

>>58868989
i like the 'the whole thing is more than its parts (numbers)' thought
or 'the simulation is more than it appears to us'
part
but it doesnt explain the possibility or kind of transition from a simulation into another meta world above it any further

>>58869136
Well, let's see it this way: what makes a simulation to a simulation? If we were in a computer, we'd still be embedded in the matrix of that universe, the atoms, or whatever their smallest building block would consist of at a certain diameter (namely the pc), we would actually exist in that world at specific coordinates. Just like when you play doom on your pc, the 54th '0' on the second segment of your ramblock consists of some matter or energy, if you take that away there would be a glitch in the game. So, if we were a Sim your body is a representation of information which may not be 1:1 identical to the higher level, but is embedded in that same sense that if manipulate that coordinate information in you would change/ go missing... Okay that did not help my argument with multiple simulations, kind of lost my train of thought while writing :^) I'll regroup and comeback for more (maybe recursion + base case? simulations are problems solvable through algorithms... Uh I'll get back to you)

Kek

Jesus had sudo access. Muhammed found a buffer overflow in sand niggers and wrote a worm to turn them into a botnet that now DDoSes europe.

"1. imitation or enactment, as of something anticipated or in testing."
"5.
the representation of the behavior or characteristics of one system through the use of another system, especially a computer program designed for the purpose."

that's the end of the movies you bongobong. now go finish the movie. and no spoiler tags for you fuck you.

>>58868632
It's written in HolyC.

God's choosen programming language.

>>58869351
so what will be interesting, is a "RL" change like in your example, from a computerworldfigure which for example could modify the ramblock in which he is represented in form of numbers/informations
