Re: What language will be used to write the first self aware program?

Problem: In a "Matrix" the human brain still works in Real Time, so the
simulation must keep pace with the minds imprisoned in it.

I think we have left the movies behind here and are considering
completely simulated beings. As someone mentioned much earlier if you
had access to an external clock you could easily show that you were in
a simulation. Having your brain run in "real-time" can give you the
same information, simply travel very close to the speed of light.
Unless they drag a large mass under your real body to slow down the
passage of time around it your thoughts will become "out of synch" with
the simulated environement, in which time within your own frame of
reference will apprear to be too fast or too slow (this can never
happen in "real" physics as time in your frame of reference will always
appear to progress at the same speed).
