This conflates mathematical existence with actual instantiation. A 2gb integer might be definable, but until someone encodes a particular arrangement of bits and gives it context, it doesn’t exist in any practical sense. We don’t treat all future novels as "already written" just because their ASCII codes can be mapped to integers. | ||

I said all novels already exist. That's different from claiming all novels have already been written. The claim is that humans are not "creators" but generators, very much in the random number generator sense. We are interesting number generators. | ||

btw. Compressed(at ALU level) 2 GB int is plausible. LOL Sounds like a funny idea for virtual cpu |
