I feel like this is the start of an interesting conversation, which gets distracted by a thousand aesthetically pleasing yet irrelevant graphs.<p>The interesting idea is, what if we modeled the physical world as operating by all rules at once, and the part that we are able to observe is only the part of it that operates according to our physics?<p>This makes me think of a model kind of like Borges's library, but with a datacenter. Let's say you had an infinite number of computers, running every possible computer program. Would this model contain our physical universe?<p>If the Turing hypothesis is correct, yes. That means there is some program whose results are equivalent to our physical universe, and so somewhere in this infinite datacenter exists a copy of our universe.<p>Is this a useful model? I don't think it is, no. The question of finding the rules of physics has just changed into an equally difficult question of finding out which computer in the infinite datacenter is running our universe.<p>But I think the "infinite datacenter" model is equivalent to Wolfram's "rulial space". You can make a thousand pretty charts of what the infinite datacenter looks like. CPU usage, network traffic, yeah all of those probably could be graphed. But that doesn't really make the model useful.
