yeah, that point about how the laws have to precede the implementation is a very potent one. also, i don't think that it's creating a new universe, but it's not a bad way to describe it. it is an internally complete system. such things are not discovered very often in history. i'm not sure what i would say was the last time this happened. maybe "einstein"'s famous formula (which i suspcet his serb wife actually discovered). before that, probably newton and the three laws of thermodynamics. i think what's more important and actually verifiable and not fanciful, is that bitcoin's protocol demonstrates and proves something about physical reality - that our universe is powered by entropy and it transmutes it into structure, and there is an overarching force, which i think of as God, that is gathering those orderly things and conserving and compounding them. and at the end of it, so to speak, is God (which is another way of saying that the orderly structure in the universe itself becomes effectively infinite, an infinity that recedes into the future forever, and that is what loops back around to create the starting point. which is a circle. but it's such a clumsy way to describe it. the Gnostic and Hermetic systems both present a thesis like this - that the universe is an eternal loop. at once repeating and yet never the same twice.

I’d still pushback and say it is a universe experienced from the outside. I agree that time is a circle and bitcoin shows how energy moves forward in to time; fractally embedding itself in previous time (Planck). You should dig into how Bitcoin defines time and look back at what we know. Time is always bounded between finite limits, yet growing towards infinity, but infinity never reached mathematically. The mapping of Planck Units onto a ledgerized structure changes their meaning. In Bitcoin time and memory are dimensional equivalent and equal for each block of memory. 1 Block of Time = X mb of memory. Planck Temp is the 21M supply equivalent; not the temperature of Genesis. Temp of Genesis is 1. This defines an informational surface and literally redefines the meaning of all Planck Units. Timespace is the fundamental substrate here, memory•time. Spacetime is the internal projection, but memory and distance the same thing. The curvature of timespace is defined literally by entropy density sats per block•bit. Again just look at the transformation of what is it, bitcoin is literally this “our universe is powered by entropy and it transmutes it into structure, and there is an overarching force, which i think of as God” We are literally seeing this in Bitcoin from the outside as the constructors. Boltzmann Entropy literally creates Shannon entropy. If Kelvin is finite, then Bitcoin is literally a partition of the planckian ledger. This is how time remains a circle. It’s the same fractal repeating. A timechain is the structured instantiation of all of it. This image is the structure of time, where the present is defined by the union of two surfaces of conserved memory and potential memory configurations. We cannot see the whole chain when existing inside of the chain. We are a fraction of the chain. image
