Perhaps it would look like a non-computable function. Only the first 4 Busy
Beaver numbers have been found and Scott Aaronson proved that the 7918th
Busy Beaver number is not computable even in principle. Nobody knows what
the smallest non-computable Busy Beaver number is, it might be as low as
Busy Beaver #5, but whatever that number is it will be the same in our
world and the mega-world that is simulating us.
