Comment on A New “Theory of Everything”: Reality Emerges from Cosmic Copyright Law

Comments

According to constructor theory, the most fundamental components of reality are entities—“constructors”—that perform particular tasks, accompanied by a set of laws that define which tasks are actually possible for a constructor to carry out. For instance, a kettle with a power supply can serve as a constructor that can perform the task of heating water .... “You simply say that the task of creating energy from nothing is impossible.”

Looks like someone is getting into OOP:

    // Defined
    (new Kettle()).boil(new Water());

    // Exception
    Universe.createEnergyFrom(null)

(yes, I'm joking with this post. But I did find the parallel to be funny)

I think it's more than a parallel.

The whole 'universe as simulation' idea is spooky.
