A more accurate way of thinking about [this] is to think of all our knowledge-generating processes, our whole culture and civilization, and all the thought processes in the minds of every individual, and indeed the entire evolving biosphere as well, as being a gigantic computation. The whole thing is executing a self-motivated, self-generating computer program. More specifically it is, as I have mentioned, a virtual-reality program in the process of rendering, with ever-increasing accuracy, the whole of existence.
—David Deutsch, The Fabric of Reality
一个更准确的思考方法是思考我们所有的知识产生过程，我们的整个文化和文明，以及每个人头脑中的所有思想过程，以及整个进化生物圈，作为一个巨大的计算。整个过程是执行一个自我激励的、自我生成的计算机程序。更具体地说，正如我所提到的，虚拟现实程序在渲染过程中，具有不断提高的准确性，整体存在。
