I think we have some miscommunication. My point was that if I think about rules and initial state of some deterministic cellular automata, then all events that will happen in it are predetermined whether or not I program and run it. So it’s not obvious that existence of universe it describes depends on whether or not it is actually simulated. Actually, why stop here, it may not even be necessary for someone to think about rules and initial state, why not?
I read that Stephen Wolfram thinks something similar, I think.
I’m not confident I’m understanding everything again.
I can see how a universe could only exist conceptually. I have trouble imagining how base reality would only exist conceptually. So I’m claiming I’m nearly 100% that there’s more of an existence than the concept of base reality.
