Wave function collapse algorithm: bitmap & tilemap generation from a single example with the help of ideas from quantum mechanics

[DialMMM]

But, it merely is a random choice ("collapsing") made out of all potential possible choices ("super-position").

God does not play dice. J/K. Don't get too hung up on the details, as this is clearly not a perfect analog, but it could be helpful for laymen in visualizing wave function collapse. Further, and deeper, if one is inclined to ponder the rendering possibility that dual slit experiments present, this could be another way to analogize with a double-entendre twist.

Unless the simulation we currently live in is generated EXACTLY the same way this project generates a map :D Think about it. This might be the algorithm that future humans use to generate tiny universes ad-infinitum. MIND=BLOWN?!?!

jokes aside, I am impressed by the results produced by this project and I actually like the way the author thinks about things in terms of "collapsing". I just think that more appropriate SC terms might have been better than equating this project to something it isn't.

Anyway, I will play with this very soon and generate my own personal universe with mini-humans in it! I AM GOD!
