>>11652279I am admittedly a brainlet but I've been thinking about this and could somebody here tell me why computation would not be far more powerful with access to more spatial dimensions. for instance think of connecting a bunch of spheres on a 2d plane to do calculations vs the connections between human neurons in 3 dimensions, and which one would be able to do more powerful computations. Essentially, 3 dimensional computronium should have no issue simulating 2 dimensional space, and the same logic could be applied to a computational system with more spatial dimensions to work with. Many assumptions about simulation of our reality being impossible rely on the simulator existing in a universe with identical physics to ours, when I don't see a clear reason for this to be the case.
Not saying the simulation hypothesis is likely or even possible. Just curious as to why this isn't brought up when discussing it.
