We will observe ourselves creating AGI, and see the AGI creating a simulation to understand its own nature and its past, and that simulation will contain us, observing ourselves creating AGI; there is no way of knowing how deep into the loop we are

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.)

I could argue the Everettian interpretation is an example of a conception of worlds beyond an instance of a simulation. The fact it is empirically testable is amazing.

Interesting why so? Because decoherence makes simulation impossible?

Because a simulation is a rendering of reality. With infinite resources we can have infinite computing power, which allows a simulation with the same fidelity as that being simulated.

Infinities are not computable, so you won't get them. But you don't need infinite resources to compute the parent universe at arbitrary fidelity. But you may need the same effective resources as your parent universe (unless you figure out a way to run for unlimited time).

I agree infinity unnecessarily complicates this idea.
