The Self-Simulation Hypothesis Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
Entropy (Basel, Switzerland) February 21, 2020 Klee Irwin, Marcelo Amaral, David Chester
The paper proposes a self-simulation hypothesis, a modification of the simulation hypothesis, in which the physical universe is a mental self-simulation structured as a strange loop. This model is presented as one of a class of possible code-theoretic quantum gravity models that obey the principle of efficient language axiom. The hypothesis leads to ontological interpretations of quantum mechanics and implies an informational arrow of time.
