This is kind of like the idea that a computer could 100% simulate the entire universe. It doesn't matter how much you refine your language and ideas, a mental model will never 100% capture all of reality, especially not through written language.
You are confusing the information capacity of the universe with it's laws. A larger universe can simulate a smaller universe, even if it has identical laws.
We're not talking about a larger universe simulating a smaller universe. You actually claimed the inverse, that a smaller universe can simulate a larger universe.
I didn't claim that at all. I claimed that a smaller universe can describe the processes that make it work. However even your strawman is incorrect, because a smaller system can simulate a larger system, it just can't do it as fast as the larger system.
Lol no. Let me remind you of your original comment and what you replied to:
This is a non sequiter. You very clearly claimed that a theory can perfectly map with reality because "reality exists". I wasn't even trying to give you a hard time but it's a bit silly to try to double down on this whole "theories are the same as reality" bit.
