CHAPTER

The Emergence of Emergent Laws in Multi-Computing in Physics

In multi computation setup, that it's this idea of these multiple threads of time. This is similar to what people think about in non deterministic computation. We say we've got this goal, find us a path to that goal. But when you have an observer who has certain characteristics like computational boundedness, sequentiality of time, and so on, that observer only samples certain aspects of this incredible complexity going on. And I think it is inevitable that that observer observes laws which are mathematically structured like general relativity and quantum mechanics - they're the same law in our model of physics.
