The order might be the same but I don't think the initial content will be 
right - unless you intend to that a conscious Novababy is born into a 
molecular biology world/sandbox!

What were imagining the Novababy's firs simulated or real world would 
be?  A world with a blue square and a sim-self with certain senses and 
actuators?  Or whatever.  Then that is the world I think you'll need to 
help the Novababy understand bu giving it ready-made rules of thumb 
for interpreting the data generated in that precise world.  I'd be inclined 
to move on to a molecular biology world a little later in Novababy's life!  
:)

Anyway - you can test my conjectures very easily with a bit of 
experimentation.

Cheers, Philip
