Their findings, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, go beyond simply suggesting that we’re not living in a simulated world like The Matrix. They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.
I can’t for the life of me find the term, but after going turbo-tism about researching the origins behind Three Body Problem’s wacky physics (11-dimension manifold, dimensional unraveling, “Three-and-Three-Hundred-Thousand Syndrome,” etc.), I stumbled upon a video postulating that our universe exists to “prop up” this “real” universe. The term that sticks in my head is “corkboard universe” or “anchor universe” but Google finds nothing. Anyway…
The idea is that our universe, and it’s 3 dimensions across time, exists to clump things together in gravitational “hotspots” of spacetime. The matter and physics we experience is entirely a byproduct of quantum foam, that itself only creates matter on this side, isolating these 3 dimensions from an entire, larger, fuller universe on the other “side” of the quantum foam made of stuff we would most certainly not call matter, more like weird energy with effects we can’t predict or comprehend, all within a much larger dimensionality than our own 3D+T.
This theory is used to explain why String Theory can only postulate higher dimensions as occupying impossibly small spaces in particularly strong regions of spacetime, which are only strong because of the relatively vast swaths of interspersed vacuum between spacetime hotspots (galaxies, mostly, but ESPECIALLY black holes). It’s only the transition between low gravity and high gravity that gravity itself has any meaning, much like temperature. Those string universes that String Theory postulates, if real, may be the holes punched through the foam, pulling that real universe into ours at microscoping points. This “anchors” that universe in place, and likely results in some fundamental force on that side “keeping everything together,” so to speak. That universe may be the cause of most if not all fundamental forces and constants in our universe, like the speed of light.
So… Basically… We exist as the living scum on the nails holding the corkboard to the wall. If you like. I’m sure the art pinned to the other side is very pretty. I’d hate for it to be a calendar or something boring.
I won’t pretend to understand every word of that, but what I did gleen is totally fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
Anyone want to direct a dafty toward a blog or channel or something where they discuss this stuff in terms that dodos like myself can better understand?

Start here. Also look up quantum foam, fundamental particles, and “the other side of spinning black holes.” Have fun!
Sorry but this is meaningless word salad.
I was able to find this article: https://medium.com/quantum-psychology-and-engineering/nihility-and-leaking-worlds-a-journey-into-the-quantum-foam-8b1b33268b57
It circles the drain on the concept but doesn’t name or define the theory I’m trying to identify. Still, it focuses on several theories regarding there being an “other side” to the quantum foam.
Legitimately, I have been desperately trying to find the video or article that I came accross. It was in my late night deep dives and those all tend to blend together. It… may have very well been in a dream or I misunderstood the content, so I apologize if it’s so far off the mark.
Would you like to say anything regarding 3BP’s physics beyond the dark forest plot? I’m still genuinely interested in learning more since you seem to understand the subject.
