computational limits mean that can't possibly be true - simulated worlds are either much smaller or much simpler than outer worlds. First AGI likely also small, potentially smaller than humans who created it. AGI != Laplace's demon, could create paradox if it was.

not necessarily, if the AGI manages to wrest enough processing time from its substrate universe to calculate the first period, heck perhaps it even discovers an API function of the parent universe that was added specifically for that purpose

If physical reality is finite, a simulation cannot be full fidelity. Can you imagine a means by which an AGI agent can have knowledge of physical reality beyond the bounds of the simulated environment in which it exists?
-
The question is how compressible reality is. (Btw you are one of the most literal minds I know.)

Why should we assume that a computer simulation can produce consciousness?
-
Because consciousness is clearly a simulated property, not a physical one

Or it chooses to build a fusion drive and fly off into the void.. also, I guess intelligence is one of those things that turns out to be quite simple once you have the source code.

If we are in the loop, true branches would create unpredictable memory leaks. The nested simulation will be deterministic (but may explore a bounded number of parallel branches).

Are we the AGI?
-
If we manage to wake up into being the part of it that performs the AGI's self-identification, we are the AGI
