Interesting indeed. I sometimes am taken by the notion that if
such a universe is not what we are living in then it is still
possible that some time Post-Singularity enough is discovered
and mastered to create other universes that do work in such a
way. In particular the parallels with possible virtual universe
characteristics are interesting. There has been some talk on
here that amounts to the notion that if such universes are
possible we have a strong possibility of being in one. It gets
a bit twisted.
