Simulation (Google Translation 2017)

This is a result of Google Translation for my recent post which was written in Japanese. I didn't even read it because the original post is not a sort of stricty scientific document, but fragments of Sci-Fi-tasted free association. and as a Burroughs worshipper, I think it's more fun to expand its idea with any unexpected mistranslation. Now I have no idea to correct and rewrite it, instead, I'll put same original text into Google Translation a year or half later.

note: Google Translation 2019 version is here.

Simulation (Google Auto Translation)

Consider philosophically about the simulation space hypothesis that this universe is a computer simulation as 50% possibility. We do not refer to any previous research including theology. Typing what I came up with as a funny reminder.

This discussion is taking place because it is possible to concretely imagine the ability of human beings themselves to create a simulation universe. A simulator that performs limited and complicated weather forecasting has been put to practical use, and social behavior such as economic activity and love affair, the gravity of what can be called lifespan experience is established as information path and virtual space as a route and environmenting. The only remaining problem is the computational power problem of the CPU, which is time resolved. The research institute will construct a sim earth for various research purposes in the future not far, and will examine the survival model of the planet ecosystem and the complex system engineering. Shim Earth should be expanded (or refined) to Sim Solar, Sim Galaxy, in keeping with the computational power improvement of the CPU by quantum computers.

The primitive life algorithm generated in the sim earth autonomously grows the evolution tree. Since this is the purpose of scrutinizing the Darwinian evolution model on the physical earth we recognize, the parameters are corrected as appropriate and the sim earth is oriented to mimic the earth. It will be observed that most of the completely random history that is not corrected will collapse and only a few histories will be in a state of thermal equilibrium and a small number of histories will continue to gently evolve steadily. All of these histories continue to be observed for research purposes, but the main purpose of the sim earth is to trace the evolution of this earth we are now. That is because it will deepen our knowledge about ourselves, which is why we have a budget. To that end, the parameters are adjusted from time to time and the evolution is arbitrarily oriented. We can only simulate the world we know.

Humanity simulation research that acquires languages ​​and develops a complex society will rise as an independent specialized field and will be integrated into existing simulators as computing power increases. There, conscious fellows, rise and fall of civilization, development and behavior of cranial nervous system, behavioral style, religion, thought, war etc are verified by various parameter adjustment. Again, the parameters are adjusted accordingly. It is almost impossible to find an intellectual life and civilization with completely different cognition, values ​​and economic systems from us, or to develop variations as little as I thought, but in any case I do not have much budget. We are seeking insight about ourselves, because it is the main objective to simulate us we know.

Well, after our cognitive world has been consistently constructed above a certain resolution in the shim environment, we will finally put a scalpel on the big problem of what is qualia. At that point already a simulation of the neurochemical qualia has already been realized to some extent, but there is still a room for philosophical debate as to what ultimately we call qualia. Practical research is carried out on the subjectivity of Sim Humans who expresses emotions, has doubts, causes songs and dances, festivals and wars, and what qualia is, apart from philosophical arguments. That is, it is a field work. Since simulating it similar to us originally, it is easy to develop a sim quioria conversion device. Shim culture anthropologists infiltrate into sim reality as an agent and do brave and brutal field investigation. In the process, the priority of the discussion on the definition of qualia will be slightly lower. If we jump in with the qualia living there, discuss with Sim Humans, love and continue to observe the front lines of science and arts culture, the immediate use is enough.

Humankind who will choose immigration to Simurial will also come naturally here as well. While strictly protecting the human body connecting the qualia conversion device to the brain, most of the life experience is transferred to the sim effect. It is like a withdrawal now. Since "time" in Sim-Earth is only one parameter from our point of view, hundreds of years of life experiences within Shim Earth are converted into our neurochemical processes as appropriate. Fast forward and chapters skip as you care and explore academics, art and love. Naturally, although you can experience death in the simial (it is a commercial shimial connection service and a commodity product of the shim industry rise period), Sim Human's ecosystem, interference with social evolution is legally restricted. It's like a provider contract. Do not keep watching over the water on a whim, capitalize on the seas, keep living in one person for hundreds of years, and witnessing around the world. In general accounts, the average life expectancy in the simulation is the expiration date, retention of memories and personal property assets, forgetfulness etc. are options at incarnation. There may be an option to forget the fact that we are "players" who are accessing the sim earth from Real Real. It provides a more thrilling shimlife, so it will be a popular option while security vulnerabilities are a problem.

By the way, imagining this far, it might have been thought that it was truly wildly SF view of the world. Exactly. This degree of thing is already imagined for now. From here on, it is some philosophical consideration by my wrath and thought.

Such an imagination (and it is guided by the computing capacity improvement and the market principle, more or less sooner or later, it is expected that it will actually do so), we will confront a few philosophical hurdles. One thing is that this simulation is a real simulation that we know to the last. Our knowledge will be renewed big and small by knowledge gained from Simurial, but a totally unknown universe never appears. Bias as a research constraint works so that it does not do so. We can not control the shimial which we can not understand and it makes no sense to do. We have no choice but to focus on reproducing our ring world (Umwelt). Scientists and religious people may be relieved, interpreting the simulation meaning significance of the simulation as the universality of the Darwinian selection model. However, the log of scientific history that arbitrarily intervened and directed us so that ourselves become a world that we can understand puts suspicion of disturbing shadows and tautology in the Darwinian culling model.

Next, after this intervention creates the Sim universe, which is a copy of our own ring world, and after experiencing it as a qualia, real real which is not shim again will also be operated and observed by a superordinate dimensional scientist · The possibility of being an intervening simulation approaches with an empirical and economic fundamental convincing power. This will be a simulation universe hypothesis whispered now as a whisper. I do not know the details, but I think so. The problem is not to prove the truth of a thing but to extract something useful, new knowledge, methodology, or some philosophical thought from there.

For Sim Human, Real Human is an existence like God. Sometimes occurring super shims Natural phenomena are caused by parameter adjustment, specification change, hacking, etc. for operational reasons, but Sim Human projects religious thought there, and imagines various mystical theory, occult theory, yoga technique will do. Although this world must have been created by the Creator, the Creator is not perfect, observing the course in which the Gnostic idea occurring in the simial, which is the reason for this world being incomplete Then, is not real religious scholars doing hokkehoku? And that? Thinking back then, I look back, or look up at the void and quiet.

If this real universe that we recognize real real is the only metashim for us in real real ... then that religion is enough! Solving! It is mediocrity to be. Wittgenstein has already issued that conclusion. More than we should consider. In other words, although we certainly tried to produce a universe, it is only an imitation of the ring world we already know, realistic. If this metashim was created with similar circumstances, it will be solved instantly as a question of what kind of intelligence imitated what. With them, we are the same "we" that share the same ring world.At the same time, the computer religious scholar in the Shimial will look back, look up at the sky, silence and reach the same conclusion. At the same time, it is a literary decoration. Since the time in the simulation is only a parameter, it is just an absolute amount of calculation, Proof Of Work, so the stable operation of the simial began, and in the next moment the shimmering religious scholars' There can be at least one calculated history. God is us. And we are not gods. It floated the party not to be familiar, withdrew to Balconi, suddenly looking up at the sky and being silenced.

Here, God, we and Shim and somehow were all integrated into "I". And it is the next problem. "I" continues to reproduce the ring world. For what? What is the purpose of this simulation in the first place? I do not say that there was no hard temptation to withdraw. But as a matter of fact, we are going to gain more in-depth knowledge of our universe. It is also possible to calculate the correlation of myriad Shim Galaxy data and calculate the probability that when and how much intellectual life forms and civilizations of the same extent or more as us exist, when it is one of the originally dreamed things It is. Probably, it searched for inside the reproducted simulation and aimed at the micro-macro bi-polar to this real (possibly metashim) which is called universe before we created the shimial and whose memories as a homeland are also clear Searching "to the outside" must be continued. Whether obvious contradictions or jitter noises in the speed of light are observed, whether it is metashim or not, it must be explored further and finer. Otherwise, it is something.

A computer religious scholar who had been silent looking at the void in the balcony suddenly returned to Shimviewer abruptly. It is contrary to manners to play with the viewer at the party 's seat, but I can not say that. Look up "here" in Sim-Earth and look for a solitary balcony thinker who is confused in the same way.

There are some other ideas I want to write in a fair amount of things, I have thought of it, but something is already annoying so I will do it this time. This continuation will be a nonlinear vision fragment, so you may post appropriately and try to do whatever it is. It's a paid note. It was a dream. I do not understand well, but for now, it is here for today. Dress in the balcony.

I'll write about "Sight" in next opportunity.
