analog v. virtual reality?
I am of a mind that our universe is entirely analogue ... possibly from an exotic fractal like generator, but with the edges smoothed out by its analogue nature.

downhill?
... actually, yes, some of the time. From Springfield Mo. to Tulsa Ok., which drops about 500 feet over 200+ miles.
A 1967 Pontiac GTO w/389 cu. in. engine, tri-power w/front & rear carb removed & manifold blocked, big narrow tires all around pumped to 65 psi, tuned up by Pontiac factory ... we opened the doors in the mountains as speed brakes, keeping the brakes cool = no drag ... 29.6 mpg was 4 mpg better than the second place Mustang (w/ 100 cuin smaller engine) ... a great hardware hack that got us pictures in regional papers & Motor Sport News, etc. === we was proud puppies
