"But since the fundamental level of reality is based on non-algorithmic understanding, the universe cannot be, and could never be, a simulation."

The same may apply to "intelligence" --- aka AGI.

As far as I know, there is no proof that AGI can be produced or simulated by a binary logic algorithm running on a finite computer.

Hence, some people support the idea of "emergence" --- aka alchemy, aka PFM --- Pure Friggin Magic.

You can achieve human level intelligence if you can simulate a human brain with sufficient fidelity

This is exactly what some people (Musk for example) thought about the universe --- it could be a computer simulation.

These physicists say they have *mathematical* proof that this is not possible.
