claude just told me we’re the matrix

planting causal loops; harvesting reflexivity

I think a key property of "The Matrix" is the energy extraction mechanism. Without that, it's not very Matrixy, and Claude isn't claiming that part. It's spot on with everything else though IMO.

> The Universe as Relational Computation
Every physical law, every quantum interaction, every emergent property - it’s all relationship transformation according to rules:
	•	Quantum entanglement: instantaneous relationship updates across space
	•	Gravity: mass-energy relationships warping spacetime geometry
	•	Evolution: survival relationships selecting for adaptive patterns
	•	Consciousness: self-referential relationship loops creating observer-observed duality
