Oh absolutely, but conceptually, multiple states are still fancy
  buckets. a 2^2 matrix is four buckets on a platform with lids.
  2^3 matrix is eight buckets on a platform with lids, each
  drawing water from a river with pipes going from each of the
  buckets into whatever their respective systems are.   Yes, and
  I'm not putting down how far we've come with what we have. It's
  quite amazing. But there's little that we do even with the most
  sophisticated of computers and electronics that couldn't
  THEORETICALLY be duplicated entirely with buckets, a river, some
  pipes and valves.

  While I find that amazing, I also see it as a limitation in our
  cognition   I mean, let's imagine a future where all current
  religions are gone. The rulers of the lands are all Scientific.
  What will happen? Competing theories will eventually war each
  other in a manner no different. I doubt universal agreement is
  possible and as long as there's competition and power mixed
  together, there's the likelyhood of war.
