what is time time is a computational
00:00:02
phenomena time is the progressive change
00:00:05
of the network one particle touches
00:00:07
another one touches another this thing
00:00:09
changes this one this changes this one
00:00:11
yeah sounds to me like you're describing
00:00:12
your cellular automata yes it's very
00:00:15
much like that it's a computational
00:00:17
process and it happens to be operating
00:00:19
on these Piper graphs rather than just
00:00:21
lines of black the universe itself is a
00:00:24
computer yes running a computational
00:00:27
exercise yes well I whether you call it
00:00:29
an exercise but yeah it is Computing yes
00:00:32
it is Computing and that's that's what
00:00:34
the progress of time is time is the is
00:00:36
the progress of that computation yes and
00:00:38
that is what people mean when they say
00:00:39
are we living in a simulation no
