Our Universe is Computational
3:22:12 - 3:30:17 (08:05)
The fundamental principle of our universe is that it is computational and different interpretations of physics correspond to running physics on different underlying rules like different computers. This has implications for how we think about intelligence and the nature of the universe.

The universe is fundamentally computational and not hyper computational or infra computational, meaning different interpretations of physics corresponds to running physics on different underlying rules and computers.

Summary
The universe is fundamentally computational and not hyper computational or infra computational, meaning different interpretations of physics corresponds to running physics on different underlying rules and computers. The only unchangeable fact about the universe is that it's computational and not relative to any specific rules or measurements.

The system that controls the weather is computationally equivalent to the system that controls our brains, which challenges how we view and define intelligence.

Summary
The system that controls the weather is computationally equivalent to the system that controls our brains, which challenges how we view and define intelligence. As humans progress towards understanding artificial intelligence and extraterrestrial intelligences, it will become evident that they are all a part of the same kind of computational system.
