Hokusai, the Laughing Demon Fiction Science Science Fiction and its cousins such as Speculative Fiction and Fantasy are well established forms of literary expression. What I haven’t seen (and I might just be ignorant) is the opposite, i.e., what might be called ‘fiction science.’
From an information theoretic perspective, whether it is a demon creating my subjective experience (or my own self as the naive solipsists love to ballber about) OR it is a real objective universe of physical reality, the Kolmogorov complexity of that perceived universe is the same.
Hence it doesn't matter how experience is being generated - ultimately it seems to have some structure and is not completely arbitrary - and therefore that K complexity has an upper bound.
To conclude - the demon if any is just part of how physics manifests - it may be real matter and energy bringing me experience, or this demon thing injecting it. Really doesnt matter.
