This article explores the Boltzmann brain hypothesis, the time-asymmetry of memory, and the second law of thermodynamics, formalizing their relationships within a time-symmetric, time-translation invariant Markov process framework. It disentangles these concepts to avoid circular reasoning and offers a novel formal approach to their investigation.
A new paper by SFI Professor David Wolpert introduces a mathematically precise framework for the simulation hypothesis, challenging several long-standing claims and opening up new questions about simulated universes.
