An agent taking data from one simulation to the next could store the data within the agent or the data could be stored in the simulating entity which is outside of both simulations. OR no data(knowledge) could be stored between simulations. Knowledge is useful if it helps propagate the species DNA. It may not help propagate the individual agent's DNA but other members in the species may achieve DNA propagation while benefitting from that agent's knowledge. If the simulations are similar enough knowledge retained from one simulation after death could be useful in another simulation. Also knowledge retained by an agent in one simulation after death could be used to propagate DNA if that same agent was reinstantiated within the same simulation.
