8/ since they'll dominate ones with only finite computation, like ours, depending on the relative frequency of the two types of branches.

9/ Suppose that agents running in worlds with infinite computation simulate each other and acausally cooperate; thus they converge.

10/ (they'd be dumb not to converge-any defectors would be punished by others running computations of negative value to the defectors)

11/ Call this "omega state". Branches of the Big World run by intelligences asymptotically approach this state.

12/ Big question, then, assuming all this is close to true: why do we observe QM world? Some answers:

13/ model the Big World as set of all Turing machines, can do this without loss of generality. Each is equally real regardless of length.

14/ however, short Turing machines are often embedded in long Turing machines and called as (potentially non terminating) subroutines.

15/ this gives some sort of over representation factor (ORF) for short Turing machines, they have higher than expected density.

@MoralOfStory But this ORF is not a well-defined number.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ObjectOfObjects should roughly scale with 1/2^(len a - len b)?. Sample larger numbers of Turing machines to get better estimates.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@ObjectOfObjects similar to how the vast majority of numbers have a 9 as one or more digits.
