Well you could just say the level you start at is real time and the second hand moves slower for lower levels and faster for higher levels?


Exactly - time is relative to our reference frame, so that would be the best arbitrary choice.


This is fun and has a great symmetry but my brain breaks at the idea of the infinitely fast and large computer that would be required to run it all :)





Imagination is fun. I'm pretty sure I can make your brain break a little bit more. Imagine they're all looped and there is no bottom level fastest super infinite computer.


The levels are stationary with respect to each other though, so in the same reference frame.
