Suppose we are living in base-level reality which started with the Big Bang and evolution, and we eventually develop an AI that takes over the entire universe. Then I would say that base-level reality started off physics-like, then becomes optimization-like.

Hmm? The base-level that the AI is running on is still physics, right?

[ETA the word "on", which I missed out]
