The Multi-Simulation Thesis: Quantum Physics as Evidence for Multi-Simulations v2

This paper develops the multi-simulation thesis as a contribution to the philosophy of physics. Where Everett’s Many-Worlds multiplies universes without bound and Bostrom’s hypothesis centers external simulators, this account reframes quantum phenomena as signatures of multiple sibling simulations instantiated from a common codebase. Collapse is construed as on-demand rendering, entanglement as shared memory, Planck-scale discreteness as pixelation, and quantum computing as cross-simulation access. Consciousness is treated as a portal function embedded in the architecture. Beyond analogy, the paper advances explicit arguments, addresses leading objections (falsifiability, regress, underdetermination, category error), situates the view within major interpretations (Everett, Bostrom, Tegmark, Wheeler, Wigner), and articulates its unique contribution and research-program heuristics. © 2025 Augusto Bartolomeu.
