Imagine walking through a terrain that never repeats itself. It is a labyrinth of intricate patterns - mountains, branches, and valleys interwoven in endless complexity. No matter how much you zoom in, the details persist, evolving infinitely without repetition.
Such a journey compels you to ask two profound questions:
The answer to the first question might appear simple at first glance. If it is proven - and you believe - that this road stretches infinitely, then every conceivable possibility must eventually arise. Shapes of all kinds will emerge along the way. You might even witness the letters of this story materializing before your eyes - or perhaps something resembling your own face. It is only a matter of time.
The computer simulation theory (or "simulation hypothesis") is a concept that suggests the world we experience might be an artificial simulation. According to this hypothesis, everything we perceive - from the physical universe to our personal experiences - could be a simulation run by an advanced civilization, a post-human society, or post-human AI, among other possibilities.
