Something that attempts to replicate the structure of a real concept while having a completely different constitution.

Likelihood

Given:

  • : fraction of civilizations that reach a post-human stage
  • : number of ancestor simulations run by posthuman civilizations
  • : Average number of individuals that live in a civilization before it reaches post human stage
  • : fraction of posthuman civilizations interested in running ancestor simulations The fraction of all observers with human-like experiences that like in simulations is: Then, at least on of thje following must be true:
  • (There are close to zero human-level civiliations that reach a Post-human Stage)
  • (There are close to zero post-human level civilaitions interested in running ancestor simulations)
  • (The fraction of people with our kind of experiences living in a simulation are close to one)
