Nick (and List): just a short remark to the very first words of your post below (mostly erased): > > If we are living in a simulation .....< I think this is the usual pretension (not only on this list). I think "we simulate what we are living in" according to the little we know. Such 'simulation' - 'simplification' - 'modeling' - 'metaphorizing' - or weven 'harrypotterizing' things we think does not change the "unknown/unknowable" we live in. We just think "and therefore we think we are.
