Well for one thing a useful definition of “true” would let us decide ethical problems without lapsing into navel gazing until the sun blows up.

The problem I have here with your statement, is you have no idea what your definition even entails energy/entropy wise. Just defining the axioms here will take much more time and energy than we have until the sun blows up.

Then the combinatorial explosions of ought conditions to step your simulation forward means you'll need Grahams number of time/entropy.

I just saw today that Innuendo Studios has an excellent video on this...
