Episode notes

There's no obstacle to running this kind of idea on a computer, but it would be very small scale. There is a huge number of degrees of freedom in every very, very tiny region of space. In a cubic centimeter of space, we're postulating something like a hilbert space of dimension ten to ten to the sixtieth rank. A lot of numbers, lot of degrees offreedom that you're not going to be able to put on a computer any time soon.

Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.

These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
