No, it's virtual because it's computed. It's a computed reality. It comes out of a computer.

Larger consciousness system. Takes a piece of itself, configures it as a computer. After all, it's an information system, right?

Yes, the universe is conscious. I wouldn't say that makes it sound like the whole universe is a conscious entity, a thinking entity. No, that's not the case. The universe, you know how you create space? You make a point. You put a... Three mutually perpendicular unit vectors at that point. You've just defined space from minus infinity to infinity in all directions in a three-dimensional reality.

That's how you define, that's how you create space. It's just a computation.

That's what virtual realities are. You can have a virtual reality where you have an Earth and a Mars and you can spend a spaceship from the Earth to the Mars and investigate. That's not consistent with virtual reality.

What makes World of Warcraft virtual? Same answer. It's computed from inside of it. If you're inside that, you have the perspective of the avatar. It's physical. Everything's physical. But it's actually computed in a computer. That's what makes it virtual. It doesn't actually exist as a reality or as a place.

World of Warcraft isn't a little place someplace where barbarians and elves and things run around and fight with each other. It doesn't exist. It's just computations. It's a multiplayer game. And our reality, what we call we, avatars, just like the barbarian, we look around and we say, this is physical.
