In the beginning was the code.
Baldrson writes "Just in case you were wondering what makes our universe tick,
an hypothesized (meta)algorithm running our universe has been proposed in "The New AI: General & Sound & Relevant for Physics" by
Jürgen Schmidhuber of Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence: "Systematically
create and execute all programs for a universal computer, such as a
Turing machine or a CA; the first program is run for one instruction
every second step on average, the next for one instruction every second
of the remaining steps on average, and so on." This actually
computes all parallel universes — not just ours. Among the consequences
of this hypothesis is: "Large scale quantum computation will not work
well, essentially because it would require too many exponentially
growing computational resources in interfering 'parallel universes'".
Prof. Schmidhuber's post-doc student, Marcus Hutter, of Hutter Prize for Lossless Compression of Human Knowledge
fame came up with some of the key breakthroughs in "The New AI" upon which Schmidhuber's hypothesis is based."
