For me, considering the quantum realm as a vibrating 2-space makes it make sense. Isolated quanta can't determine the 3rd dimension. It requires interaction to generate interference patterns which build into a "consensus." Without interference, isolated quanta just flirt randomly with all possible states. The deterministic nature of energy levels seems in keeping with a 2-space generating environment. Real variables are generated by interference between integer-based states of multiple quanta. In this scenario, we, and our universe, exist in the generated state.

It's like we're inside of a giant Fourier transform generator.

A generator of universes of this type would be a profoundly different computing system than any we currently envision, based on where we spend money. And it would necessarily be virtual. One would prefer one's universe not explode into existence in one's living room.

Behave yourselves. I'd have instrumented the hell out of this thing. I'd want to show it off to my other geeky friends, proving it generates living worlds and such. Also, nobody will play your video game in the 35th century if you can't prove it generates living universes.

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to discover this is an older version of a universe generator which was discontinued because it kept generating Nazis.
