Simulation Argumentum

Inspiration for this book was drawn from several sources. I first encountered Non-Serviam by Stanislaw Lem in the book The Mind's I, by Hofstadter and Dennett many years ago. This work is sometimes called "Spiritual Science Fiction," so I suppose this label may apply to The Simulation Argument as well. The real catalyst was the thought; "What if I combine the basic idea of a scientist creating artificial life on a computer (e.g. Non-Serviam) with the most famous creator of all...Yahweh, the God of the bible, then set this within a version of the Simulation Hypothesis.

The Amazon book description contains a warning, and I will reiterate it here; If your religious sensibilities are easily offended, this book is NOT for you. It is filled with blasphemy and heretical ideas.

Summary:

Researchers have developed a quantum biomimetic protocol that reproduces the characteristic process of Darwinian evolution adapted to the language of quantum algorithms and quantum computing. The researchers anticipate a future in which machine learning, artificial intelligence and artificial life itself will be combined on a quantum scale.

A scenario of artificial intelligence could see the emergence of circumstances in which models of simple organisms could be capable of experiencing the various phases of life in a controlled virtual environment. This is what has been designed by the QUTIS research group at the UPV/EHU's Department of Physical Chemistry, but the scenario is that of quantum computers: an artificial life protocol that encodes quantum behaviors belonging to living systems, such as self-replication, mutation, interaction between individuals, birth and death, and has been executed on an IBM ibmqx4 cloud quantum computer. This is the first experimental realization on a quantum computer of a quantum algorithm of artificial life following Darwin's laws of evolution.
