Question from a non-expert: How does this fit in with the idea
of quantum teleportation? i.e. if quantum teleportation is
somehow instantly changing a pair of particles no matter how
far apart, how can that work when the CA is limited to a max
speed of info transfer?

I found it very interesting how this actually revises the
idea that you gain mass as you approach the speed of light...
instead you sort of "out run" the CA such that it can't
transmit all the force info onto ya ?

I also found it quite discouraging that it is impossible to
break out of the sim on our own. Perhaps we can somehow get the
attention of the people running the sim and have them upload
us into "real space" ?
