I think the word game is in an odd situation here. In game theory parlance, physics is just a game. it’s not a question of whether you’re in a game; it’s what game you interpret yourself to be playing. there are positive-sum games you can interpret yourself to have been playing.
Well, I meant to point at something intuitive, and kind of as a nod to Existential Kink.
I honestly forgot when writing this piece that “game” has special meaning here. Like with game theory.
I just meant to hint at kind of a VR game, or like if you can imagine that the Matrix started out as a game people plugged into but part of the game involves forgetting that you plugged in.
