The notion that Billions of neurons can tell a story together, and that this becomes apparent only within that story, and that we exist inside of the story, as its main character, instead of a physical universe, is endlessly fascinating to me.

The physical universe is actually the story being told. Who, then, is the main character?

No, the physical universe has an unknown nature, and is the subject of the puzzles of foundational physicists. It does not by itself feature in the dream, even though we experience dreams about it.

That’s one of the dreams of an AGI, right ? Take some of the burden of rockstardom off of Ed Witten’s shoulders ?

In the future there will be foundational physics solving contests, where each competing AGI starts in a nascent state in a different configuration of its parent universe, and we count how many moves it takes to solve the Rubik's cube of existence.
