Do you think we're in simulated reality?

The real question is whether we can simulate reality here.

If we can make a simulation, then we're not in the least complicated reality.

And if that simulation can contain another simulation, then we're at least two from the bottom

If we assume each simulation is at most thousandth the size of the 'universe* and that possible

One it's in, the the perspective smallest volume from of our universe is one planck-volume, then we are

61st from the bottom!

x 61

So, are there any simulations above us?

Well for that we'd just have to find signs that we're optimized for good computation.

Like maybe a minimum temperature or a maximum speed or a rule that position and momentum are only knowable to certain tolerances.

Oh my god! I'm just a program!

And I'm not even

A good one!

Hey now that's not true.

The universe is a program. You're

Just a subroutine.
