This is really cool but... At some point, don't we have to start simulating things like internal interference in the conductors, induction, and sending/receiving radio signals?

Yes and do you agree, the hardware running the simulator also would need to be characterized, and it's own conduction/induction/rf taken into account.

  • No, because the simulated computer does not exist in the real world. The host's physical characteristics only affect the simulation if they cause the host computer to malfunction.

  • I feel like that matters less the slower the simulation runs. Simulated RF interference would operate at a much slower timetable than the host system, and I don't really think the host system's RF matters so much until you're at speed parity with the original system and hoping to interface with hardware peripherals.

    • Absolutely! Seems like if hardware run something simulated at 50% speed, and want to also simulate rf, would need to half the wavelengths of the rf, and some of it may enter into mush zone.
