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.
