Scientific approach
The author of the book "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rational Thinking" Eliezer Yudkovskiy is first of all a scientist and even a philosopher, and only then a writer.
Of course, Yudkovsky uses the tools of a writer: favorite characters and their dialogues, a general plot, objects of the magical world, and the art of mastering the word.
As you certainly know, he is a specialist in artificial intelligence, a researcher of technological singularity, co-founder of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute. By the way, one of the directors of this institute is probably the most famous futurologist of our time, Ray Kurzweil, who predicted many technological changes long before they happened.
As befits a scientist, Yudkovsky in his book "GPiMR" not only provides food for thought, but also generously equips his text with references to scientific, artistic and non-fiction literature.
Ideas caught in fan fiction are revealed in primary sources in full, in detail, widely, with an overview of research and actually from the mouths of those scientists who have been studying this or that issue for years. Among the references you will come across the works of Daniel Kahneman, one of the leading modern psychologists and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Robin Dawes, who explains the problem of rational choice in an uncertain world, and many others.

Anyway, I realized that if you have an eye that sees things other people can't see, then, as Isaac Asimov pointed out in The Second Foundation, you can use bright light as a weapon.

You know, until now, somewhere in the recesses of my consciousness, I always had a suppressed thought that the only possible answer is that my universe is just a computer simulation, like in the book "Simulakron-3". However, now even this option will have to be discarded, because this little toy is NOT TURING COMPUTABLE!
