Any realistic theory must be computationally realistic: a response to N. Gisin's definition of a Realistic Physics Theory

TL;DR

The paper argues that for a physics theory to be truly realistic, it must also be computationally feasible, addressing limitations in Gisin's definition of realism.

Contribution

It introduces the necessity of computational realism as a supplement to existing definitions of realistic physics theories.

Findings

Highlights the importance of computational feasibility in realistic theories

Critiques Gisin's definition for lacking computational considerations

Proposes that realism in physics includes computational constraints

Abstract

It is argued that the recent definition of a realistic physics theory by N. Gisin cannot be considered comprehensive unless it is supplemented with requirement that any realistic theory must be computationally realistic as well.
