I’d like to see that argument. If you can find a mapping that doesn’t end up encoding the simulation in the mapping, I’d be surprised.
Well why should it matter if the simulation is encoded in the mapping?
If it is, that screens off any features of what it’s mapping; you can no longer be surprised that ‘random noise’ produces such output.
Again, so what?
Let me adjust the original thought experiment:
The operation first computer is encrypted using a very large one-time pad.
