Heaven, a Place That Is Heavenly to Everyone in Heaven
Let us consider a computerized soul that would rather go to heaven than to continue here on Earth. We shall define “heaven” as that place that is heavenly to everyone in heaven. It should be that place where all inequities are corrected, all sins forgiven, and where one can exist fulfilled and triumphant. This will be very possible in the following way. Imagine a very large computer charged with the task of computing what might be called “General Heaven.” This is the large set of things that are mostly in common to most inhabitants of heaven. Then, imagine that the computational resources given to a soul in heaven is quite a bit greater than needed for just that soul; perhaps 1,000 times greater. The added computational power would be used to recast the actions and personalities of other heavenly souls, and to modify other heavenly aspects, such as weather, nature of surroundings, etc. The concept would allow two heavenly souls, A and B, who must each beat the other at tennis at least 3/4 of the time to both be in a heaven where it is true that each of them does win 3/4 of the time, and all aspects of that inconsistency are smoothed out by the added computational power of the process that computes Q and W. Thus, in A’s heaven, B is very much the same as B is in B’s heaven, except for the fact that A wins 3/4 of the time. In B’s heaven, A is very much the same as A is in A’s heaven, except that it is B that wins 3/4 of the time. All inconsistencies that arise as a consequence are smoothed out for both immortal souls. And of course, it is arranged that neither can know what happens in the other's heaven.
