Can you give an example of a sub reality that uses a procedural generation but was not created by an intelligence?LOL< goal posted. Confronted with the reality that it is a procedural generation and not an intellect required and creating the game worlds referenced, you've decided to take a step back, and ask a different question. Good for you, unfortunately, yes I can.
-In that all of them are examples. We implement procedural generations, our intelligence is used to direct their effect - it isn't required for their existence, nor do we need to "create" them. A procedural generation is a description of a logical function - we discovered those, we didn't invent them. What we -did- invent was the implementation thereof, in the form of a modern computer. But...since we've invented a variety of computing systems and they all fulfill the function it's very plain that it isn't any specific invention of ours upon which this all depends. Strings, levers, analog or digital...even rolls of toilet paper (I shit you not) - it all does the same thing for the same reasons under the same rules in the same reality - and the same space.
(I'm afraid that you can't decide that procedural generations are not sub-realities unless you ditch all of your examples - but then where would you draw your observations from? If you decide to keep your examples (so that you can claim to have observations upon which this argument is arranged) you must allow procedural generations, as the examples you've offered -are- procedural generations themselves)
-this thread has been an idiots guide to poor logic btw and we're talking fucking computers!...... so gratz on that - I'm wondering if any stone will be left unturned by the time you bail out, impressive..in it's own way.
