Ask HN: I wrote a recursive story. Want to know if my thinking is correct.
Yesterday I wrote a very short story which goes like this: We are in a recurring simulation. Each simulation is actually a speeding up to find the perfect computer. As we approach to solve the problem, the world resets and starts again to find the perfect computer. As we approach to solve the problem, the world resets and the perfect computer...
I thought this seems to be recursive but it's just that the same sentence repeats to give that illusion. So I thought I should write a bigger story and see what happens. And so I wrote this: Details that can be added into the above story. So the higher entity has found that humans cannot be kept in a vegetative state and the matter cost of frequently replacing us is very high. To optimise this we have come up with a software that runs in the brain. The diary is a detailing of this software. We run a simulation where the brain starts from the stone age or some even more primitive state. So that when they have full function of the brain but the only thing they lack is knowledge. With each turn of his life and he's progressing through an increase in knowledge in the human mind. As human's start to grow in number the collective knowledge increases and the time to the acquire more knowledge keeps of decreasing. Then we reach the point where they are not able to know the their birth but at that very moment the software's platform computer resets or has a segmentation fault. This the maximum strength computer the machines have built till now. The machines are constrained by resources and not able to develop better computers. They have timed the resource utilisation of running the farms with this software to the end of the earth. So that resources end at the precise time the sun dies. continues in comments...
