Yes, except with the awesome twist that it’s presumably not a simulation, but an actual collection of quarks with no in built fail-safes. If my judgement of authorial intent is right, they machines don’t even have ubiquitous nanotech or beat chaos theory generally, they are just that good at xantos gambits. Which makes it a fantastic illustrative example of the thing a truly superhuman intelligence could manage to do.

I hadn’t even considered that possibility. That is brilliant.
