"The 'brain in a box' speculation is indeed an old one. I am well aware it is not testable scientifically. I am also aware that science simply makes the assumption it is NOT the case."
"Science" has tested this "speculation" through brains scans conducted on active brains.
"From that point some progress may be made? Hence posting here rather than in the 'science' threads."
I don't blame you not wanting to post on the science thread.
"So, to clarify... Assuming we are not simply a brain in a box what might be telltale signatures the world we know is a computer simulation?"
I agree that we are more than just a brain in a box, but that doesn't diminish the role of the brain.
"The observation principle? Math seems to be the language of the universe... and..."
It seems that much of the universe obeys laws that we can best describes using mathematics.
"The fact 'error correcting codes' has turned up in that math... the codes computers have used for some decades? The universe seems to be digital? The weird quantum world? Other?"
Intriguing, to say the least.
