While that very likely describes the origin, it doesn't necessarily describe successive layers of creation.

And assuming that we are in fact currently in the origin and not a successive layer of recreation of that origin seems like an increasingly difficult argument to make as each year passes by.

Just like the new layers we are starting to build right now have processes by which continuous functions convert to discrete units in order to track interactions by free agents, the smallest building blocks of our own existence convert from being modeled as continuous to discrete based on interactions with them - and perhaps even more oddly go back to continuous if the information about those interactions is erased from existence (as if memory optimized to require the least degree of quantization to model the interactions of free agents with the universe).

We have a trillion dollar company that has been granted a patent on resurrecting the dead using AI and leftover social media data investing billions into AI companies with early models built on social media data claiming they want to experience being human. Another trillion dollar company named after the concept of a virtual parallel world is attempting to improve AI by virtually embodying it as closely to subjective human experience as possible.

And these are developments growing over the course of only a few years. Do you think these kinds of efforts will end? Or will we continue to push these boundaries as far as we are capable of doing so?

And given that the quantization of matter into a specific sized building block is one of the key limiting factors in how far we are able to push these boundaries, how confident should we be that a world without the same building block size limits might not have pushed the boundary much farther than we might conventionally imagine ourselves doing so?

TL;DR: Just because things begin in chaos does not mean creation and existence will remain chaotic and without purpose.
