So then a little more detail...

We as humans use inflection in our speech, tone of voice and
expressiveness, (body language) to pass on the percent of success when
you say maybe.

Its a very well calculated statement since you might be waiting for the
wave function to collapse. How much longer until the state is decided is
what you want to know and are the odds presently in your favor?


You might want a calculated Spock type answer or a different character
type answer.
Spock or Data might say, the chances of success are presently 47% and
according to my calculations, you should see Klingons coming through the
train windows right, about, now.

Has he seen a file that is being downloaded, and calculated how long it
will take to download, and inspected the file and file type (Klingon)
and decided when this file is downloaded and executed, the chances of
success are 47%?

Maybe.

If you ask Dirty Hairy a question he might say, "Go ahead, make my day"

Well personality behaviors hover around these maybe statements. And the
way in which the character communicates the maybe parameters depends on
their personality. You might add a shoulder shrug or a type of smily
that says, its not my faulllllt...then a halo, I didn't do anything,
then an idea light bulb above the assistants head, with a fetched
solution accompanied by an excited smiley face.

You see since we are modeling human behaviors we know what to put in,
since we do that ourselves and see that in others all the time.

In an attempt to model nature, if our hypothesis is correct, that we can
depict anything within 3D space-time if all there are, are atoms and the
void.

And a 320x320x320 space filled with voxels (pixels) are atoms in the
void. We should be able to apply any law of physics to them as well. And
model any process.

Hypothetically. If you are a materialist you will say so, and even if
not, you might think in terms of dream, dream in color, lucid dream,
twilight state, wide awake, and these are the multi-verse or some other
set up that allows for some Platonic forms or religious concepts that
are not physical in this 4D space-time.

We have no reason to suspect however that duality does not have things
in common. They may use atoms there too of some kind.

Or maybe unknown forces, unimagined materials with unimaginable
properties. For the sake of continuity in our programming, we will
assume that all we need for scientific purposes are atoms and the void.
Faking the ether and waves in the ether by applying those laws.

We can model things even without the ether, since it can't be detected
right now.

Maybe later we will need that quad full of cran chops. Time will tell.
