Monster simulation

From Simulism

The monster simulation argument is similar to the The Simulation Argument but extends it in that it states that there is no logical reason why the simulators universe cannot be entirely different from ours. The beings at level 0 could be composed of silica or ammonia instead of carbon or rna based instead of dna. The Anthropic Principle is a loosely-structured set of ideas which attempts to explain why certain observable features of the universe are the way that they are. in simplest terms this states that the universe, which is finely tuned to support our type of life is this way because we are here to observe it, if it were different we wouldn't be here to observe it. The monster simulation is an argument stating that we observe the universal constants the way they are because our simulator created our world that way. the simulator could, in principle, change any of the constants to play with the outcome. he or she could change gravity, quark binding or higgs field interactions to see if and what life would form. if life doesn't form a new simulation could be started with a few fine tunes. in this, we in the simulation are monsters compared to the simulators. so the anthropic principle could be extended to encompass we being the way we are because we were initial set with these specific parameters which lead to this outcome.
