You can approximate the laws that we know with a computer simulation – we do this all the time – but if that was how nature actually worked, we could see the difference."platonism showing again

     @newt point was that coherent mathematics *is* computation, so if the universe is coherent, obeying laws, then it's computablethe rest of it, getting into probabilities an "we're probably in a simulation" is pretty dumb, though, doing the whole pick-from-a-distribution-spread-across-an-unfalsifiable-multiverse thing

     @shmibs I remember an article on how to get to relativity purely from Heisengerg’s equation and some assumptions about entropy. It’s a fun read.
