| Jun 14, 2016 at 14:21 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | @Hackworth When I was writing the rules, the game of blackjack came to mind. Your goal is to get as close to 21 as possible, but not over -- to make it take as long as possible to find the Truth, but make sure it actually gets found" | |
| Jun 14, 2016 at 14:20 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | @Hackworth Eventually is defined as "before humanity becomes incapable of discovering the Truth" I agree there is a philosophical question of "what is humanity," so I suppose it would be fair game to provide answers so far in the future that the concept of humanity is no longer close to what we think of it today. As for "as long as possible," that can be defined at the StackExchange level -- its an objective criterion for deciding which answer is best. | |

| Jun 14, 2016 at 6:57 | comment | added | Hackworth | "to ensure it takes as long as possible for someone to actually discover the Truth, but at the same time make sure that someone eventually does." These requirements are clearly contradictory. You have to define "as long as possible" and "eventually". | |
| Jun 14, 2016 at 4:51 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | @Aify I'm trying to figure out what flaw within the matrix would eventually reveal that they are in a simulation, but draw it out as long as possible. An example of such a flaw would be a "garden of eden" construct such as that from Permutation City, which could not exist unless the world was a simulation. in that book, the rules of the simulation prevented any simularcum from "seeing" the garden of eden, so it wouldn't meet my needs. I'm looking for something which the simularca (or denzens of the matrix) could eventually realize. | |
| Jun 14, 2016 at 4:31 | comment | added | Aify | I don't understand the question. Are you asking how to design the program "The matrix", or how to design the inside of "The matrix" (as in the actual innards, eg: what time period the people are in, what the earth is like, etc)? Also, this seems really really REALLY story based to me | |
