One thing that struck me while reading your discussion post is that, even with simulated AI that can be saved, copied, and replayed, it isn’t obvious nor given that we can merge these clone instances into a single ‘averaged’ instance.
We could, if we could arbitrarily shrink an instance to only require 1/Nth the resources (or time). The shrunken instance would be less perfect, but there is power in the ability to run numerous nested (sets in sets, like a tree) instances simultaneously.
Disclaimer: rambling ahead.
