The doctrine of the butcher emerged from his observations of the evolutions of the random code, after he came to the conclusion that we all live in a simulation. Of course, new this little. Early in the century - when there were only computers, it was fashionable to say that we exist in virtual reality. Not to go far, let us recall the famous technological visionary Elon musk. Or actor and gay icon Keanu Reeves, especially that period when he drenched both barrels the Russian mafia (Sigmund, shut up), and worked as a Buddha. "Guys, we are in the Matrix!!!" I guess whispering these words? Only one who has no mind, no heart.
Resnick but first clearly explain what it means. It is not that there is some level of reality where we fall when the simulation ends. There is no "final" material layer "real" everyday life and relates to our everyday world as the rainy street outside the window to the erotic hallucinations in our ogmento. Rather, it is certainly possible - but any such layer is "more real reality" similarly, it can be aware of itself as a simulation, and we get straight into bad infinity. According to Reznik, "simulation" means somewhat different. He explains this concept through the mechanism of functioning of the Universe. All the animate and inanimate (Reznick did not recognize the difference between them) are just different sequences the expanded World in the Mind of "universal code" - as if growing in all directions the tree space RCP. The universal code is manifested as events in the mind, as "matter".
