The short run chaos of the verse drives the long run order of the verse. The verse tries to maximize the short run computational cost of the verse, and the overall computational cost of the verse is conserved, so the long term computational cost of the verse is minimized. The short run chaos acts as a random variable in the cost function of the verse defining long run order: Chai

Based on the Uncertainty principle and the Observer effect when something is measured it is effected. From quantum mechanics, when a particle is measured a computation happens. When an atom in space is struck by a photon it is accelerated and a computation occurs. It may be the case that there is an equivalency between measurement, computation, and acceleration. Masses in space measure the volume of space, so space time accelerates and the universe expands.

The Matrix mechanics interpretation of quantum mechanics defines a commutator: [A,B] = AB - BA with [x, p] = ih. My interpretation of the commutator relation is that particles are contradictions at the Planck scale.

Space wants to be smooth because it makes the universe more compressible. When matter clumps together space becomes more smooth because the atoms' wave functions are correlated. Smoothness also explains dark energy. When the universe expands and becomes more empty it becomes more smooth and compressible.

Tweet: An intriguing blog on #QI and time by pointlander… Update: Corrections from Mike McCulloch in bold text. I assume something doesn’t exist unless it is measured, and this includes time. Space-time is measured by the quantum vacuum driving time forward. Down on Earth, time moves more slowly than time up in orbit. This is because the presence of matter reduces the amount of quantum vacuum down on Earth, but what about moving objects?

AGI, but machine learning can get us there. Machine learning is like the steam engine: good enough but not perfect. AGI is like a jet engine. Complete simulation of any material. Everything would get better and cheaper really fast. Quantum Gravity becoming a solved problem. This could lead to flying cars and real space ships. So, there are several ways in which the singularity can happen, and in my opinion the above three things are happening at the same time.

Capitalism vs Marxism was the economic conflict of the last century. The economic conflict of this century is programmers vs everybody else. Programmers create billion dollar business that destroy jobs, and other programmers try to destroy those businesses with open source software. A good examples of this is RISC-V destroying ARM’s business. Most significantly, using crypto currency programmers tried to destroy all governments on earth. Currently, working from home is taking off.

Update: See: Electrostatic accelerated electrons within symmetric capacitors during field emission condition events exert bidirectional propellant-less thrust and Horizon Engineers. MEMS Chips that measure the force of the quantum vacuum have been produced. Should the measured force be the same in all frames of reference? From the standpoint of general relativity the answer is yes, but this means one frame of reference may measure a weaker quantum vacuum in another frame of reference that is moving faster.

Mach Energy is a source of energy based on Mach’s principle; in particular it is based on Einstein’s interpretation of Mach’s principle. In a single particle universe the particle’s mass can’t be measured, and other things can’t be measured such as time. As a consequence the conservation of energy may not hold in a single particle universe. The vast empty regions of our universe may have some of the properties of the single particle universe.

Update: See: Grapevine for reference implementation and Hacker News. Grapevine is a distributed protocol for replacing twitter like systems. It is composed of nodes that add a proof of work over a message and nonces from previous nodes, so the proof of works stack up as messages pass through nodes. Messages with a higher total cost have a higher probability of being forwarded to the next node. Individual nodes decide the cost of the proof of work they add to the message.
