A cover of Knowledge, from FEZ, on sax. And while we listen, let's discuss our simulated universe. This piece is available for download, purchase or streaming on BandCamp, iTunes, Spotify, and other music purchase locations as part of Materia Collective's "Tesseract: An Acoustic FEZ album."

If you've played the game FEZ (or even if you haven't), then one of the things you'll note is that note a lot of the lore is spelled out explicitly. However, even if it's not, what seems to be clear is that the denizens of the FEZ universe live in a simulated universe, and in coming to grips with their simulated world, they have become more or less able to "see" the scaffolding of their universe. In-game, this is explored by the ability to see in a third dimension and to change perspective and warp between space by taking advance of the perspective shifts.

I'm not a physicist, but I've been watching enough documentaries about aliens and the composition of the physical universe to suspect that our universe may be a bit more FEZ-like. When I first saw a documentary about Planck length and Planck time, I immediately drew the connection that this was the "resolution" of our universe -- the pixels, as it were. To God, we must look so grainy and low res!

I forget this documentary, but it made other claims that made sense. When we dive deeper into our universe, it is as if the processor simulating our universe strives to stay one step ahead by reducing the resolution of parts out of focus and adding more focus to parts that are in. In a computer analogy, it's like Google Maps drawing more detail on the area you're at, while everything else is a blurry or gray haze. We cannot know both the location and speed of certain particles -- might this be because a CPU is just processing these things on the fly?

Or consider how waves seem to be more like mathematical functions rather than persistent tangible substance? And that those waves only collapse when measured? COME ON. We are seeing the threads of our processing.
