Are any physicists looking for evidence of compression artifacts and or rounding errors in the physical nature of the universe? Is this a thing?

yeah everytime you measure a wavefunction it rounds to the nearest eigenstate whoops

>compression artifacts
the fact that all physical constants are some shit number that has nothing to do with mathematical constants
the fact that mathematical constants are also some shit real nothing to do with natural numbers
the fact that the speed of light is some shit number
the fact that the number of dimensions is some shit number
the list goes on and gone this is definitely the jpeg universe

I just thought of this minutes ago and forgot to post it in the thread

Why don't we declare the speed of light, Planck's constant, etc. to be our fundamental base units of measure, and base everything else around that?

You say the constants are all weird as fuck random numbers but that's because we define them in terms of some retarded ancient systems of measurement. Maybe it would work out better using the physical constants as base units which can be scaled by the number system's order of magnitude

Also the fundamental constants may not be underlying -determiners- but instead may be -determined- and just statistical trends, created by underlying complex processes.

only if there was only a single physical constant. which would mean there was no physical constant since we could set it to one. unfortunately there are many and they obviously aren't ratios of one another, so the shittiness will come back
