Metaphysics Hypothesis
does not refer to the actual Tucson, located in the same dimension as the brain is, but something else, a simulated object called Tucson, whether the simulation has an identical experience to the real Tucson is not the philosophical point.
The Matrix hypothesis is the same as the metaphysics hypothesis David Chalmers claims. The metaphysics hypothesis is made up of three hypotheses. These three hypotheses are known as computational, creation and mind body hypotheses. The computational hypothesis “Microphysical processes throughout space-time are constituted by underlying computational processes” (Christopher Grau, pp137) this gives birth to the concept that there is another level that underlies the microphysical process and that is known as the computational process made up of bits. Bits can be thought of as packets of information consisting of zeros and ones. So if then, elementary particles are just bits of information i.e. tables and chairs then its plausible to …show more content…
This hypothesis is the closet to the simulation argument as one can imagine if we were created then we are already a product of simulation and computational hypothesis would turn into a law and be contained inside the creation hypothesis. An important technical note to add is that God is outside of the physical space-time that we occupy. This opens the question about simulated environments and concludes that by the logic of probability theory we must be in a simulation. We start with the God that created us, if we are a simulation then God must be in the simulation above us, or maybe below us or located in another realm. We know that the values for the universe must be extremely fine-tuned if by one unit difference this universe may be different or not exist at all and
