What if the indranet was a compute net, with each jewel as a compute node ? The purpose of the universe would be computation...

Each node would possess the ability to do any of the computations of the other nodes

Some of them would be able to simulate the computations performed by other nodes:; here's the cutover - each computation is an experience and each node is a soul/mind

There would be federated jewels subnets ...

But for whom?

One hypothesis is that there's a creator , and the universe is actually feedback to the creator
