> not requiring any cost/resource/energy to such computing loads, and reliably without any uncaught exceptions.

It is highly distributed, in that every atom in the universe is performing this "calculation", all the time. That is literally an ungodly amount of energy. As for uncaught exceptions, they are also performing "only" this calculation, not much room for exceptions there. But let's not talk about quantum tunneling and other weird things that go on in the even lower level VM ;)



If we’re being literal, a lot of people would claim that that’s precisely a godly amount of energy.


Yeah it is incredibly much more computationally expensive when you consider it's a quantum mechanics universe and not a Newtonian, as all possible updates and combination of updates needs to be calculated and all considered together to generate the output probabilities..
