Anyone have any ideas on how Hofstadter’s law could be used for some really, really exploitable anthropic computing? Basically, assuming that any worlds that would violate Hofstadter’s law too egregiously fail to realize because they’re swallowed by paradoxes, how could one use this to weed out less desirable outcomes? And what would be reasonable preconditions for it; obviously it only impacts things you’re doing yourself or in some other way personally involved-in-slash-responsible-for, but what else?
