Time Travel & Simulations

Our descendants may ‘visit’ the past quite frequently, but since few are likely to want to spend significant portions of their lives in H-simulations, the concept of a life-stream introduced earlier is no longer appropriate as a basic unit of simulated consciousness. Something of briefer duration is required. So, for present purposes, let us take day-long streams of uninterrupted consciousness –

D-streams for short – as our working units. (An even shorter unit could be selected, but as will become evident, the upshot would not be greatly different.) We shall take as our class of menacing D-streams those simulated streams that resemble the sort of experiences enjoyed by actual inhabitants of the year 2002 – call these MD-streams.

Assuming the current population of the Earth to be six billion, there are just over 2 x 1012 D-streams for the year 2002. If a similar number of MD-streams of varying character exist in the future, the odds of the experiences you are currently having being simulated rather than original are around fifty per cent. Should the numbers of MD-streams created in the future be greater, your chances of living among the original inhabitants of the year 2002 will be correspondingly smaller. In fact, the number of MD-streams created in the future could easily be far higher.

Call the time at which H-simulations become commonplace occurrences the C-threshold.

Let us suppose that from the C-threshold on, every future human being takes one virtual reality trip to the year 2002 during their lifetime, and that these trips are varied in character. If we now suppose that human civilization lasts for ten thousand generations after the C-threshold, and has an average population of ten billion, there will be 1.0 x 1014 MD-streams, compared with 2 x 1012 original D-streams. With fifty simulated streams for every real stream, you have a one in fifty chance of actually being alive in the year 2002. On more optimistic scenarios, your predicament is even more precarious. If humankind has a long history – one million generations exist after the

C-threshold, say, with constant or improving technology – and a larger average population during this period – a hundred billion, say – then we can expect a total of around 1.0 x 1017 MD-streams to occur, which would reduce your chances of being alive in 2002 to around one in fifty thousand! In this case, even if only one in a thousand people ever take a virtual reality trip back to 2002, the chances that you are really living in 2002 are still only one in fifty.

So the “missing” “time travelers”  that we have often wondered about (as in “if time travel exists where are they?“) amusingly, turns out to be ourselves.  The way to ensure that we don’t inadvertently reveal this to ourselves before “T” (time) is to wipe the travelers memory (quantum encryption) using the code : Forget Fullness. Full memory only begins to return as the “traveler” get towards a pre-arranged point in the time-line, “events” acting like signposts to “remind the traveler” so to speak. Observation & non-interference is part of the Time Travel creed.

nothing in this document is necessarily true (tarot (h) = subset human) however, if you are reading this …. it could be that you are  reading it for a reason 🙂   sssh!   Actually, it’s just a bit of fun.
