Ok, but suppose that the simulation has limited resources and only computes some sphere around the current part of the universe you're observing. Then it might do some predictive analysis to pre-compute likely future states. Driving randomly would be an attempt to fuck with that algorithm. Of course this would have to be a scenario where our perception channels are hijacked but our cognition is performed in the real world. If Our cognition is part of the simulation, it can just take more outside-the-simulation time to compute the next simulation moment and the inhabitants of the simulation won't notice. > It is a simulation, or rather, a computation, such as a statistical > mechanics analysis.

My view is that the big bang is the simplest possible state, so it's the common ancestor of all possible states, so if you look far enough in time your are bound to observe it. My crazy hypothesis is that the instant of the big bang is shared by all universes and belongs to all histories. > here's another completely, off the wall, point of view.
