Pixels, compute, and the mechanism of parallel universes
yunta_tsai · x · 2026-08-18
A tweet proposes a theoretical perspective: pixels generate compute, and compute generates yet more pixels. Each pixel is a collapsed eigenstate, preceded by unitary evolution as pure computation. As the wave function branches, every outcome is realized as new pixel sets, suggesting parallel universes are not just a metaphor but a mechanism involving infinite sub-agent loops.
