You should not allow a physical infinite look-up table, but a Turing machine can emulate an infinite table, so you need a processor, not just the instructions. | |

I also assume implicitly in H that these self aware entities are so in their own virtual reality, so slowing down the simulation will not slow down their own experience. I guess that is the problem, it is not a reasoning, I am already assuming the "conclusion". | |
