Reality as a Simulation: Recursive Computation Hypothesis

  • 1. Independent Researcher

Description

This paper advances the Recursive Computation Hypothesis, a formal framework for interpreting reality as a simulation sustained by iterative computational processes. Drawing on mathematical formalism, the work develops a structured model for simulation dynamics, policy updating, and trajectory generation across hierarchical levels. The hypothesis situates physical laws, informational constraints, and emergent regularities within a recursive architecture of computation, emphasizing both epistemic limits and predictive coherence. The formulation contributes to ongoing debates at the intersection of theoretical physics, computational ontology, and philosophy of science.
