I took philo...
not as useless as some may think it a study to be...
It means that problem solving...logic study....understanding questions...how to pose them...uncovering them...and asking more..as much as making sense of the world and when new innovation and discovery...occurs...being able to adjust and adapt to them and understand the "Why's?" better...

right...so a simulation was created ...for the simplest "context" possible...
where exactly?
In a "laboratory" a "research facility" a "testing stage" of some kind.

"simulation" of some kind of giant computer is about as limiting as a concept as it gets...to put the parameters of this place being a simulation of a computer generated origin..is as human and closed a concept as it gets.

The moment one conceives of an "outside" and an "inside" the most natural next step is to put conditions on the place out of similarity to the one inhabiting either of the two.
Some extrapolation ...some few differences may occur..
But the likelihood that the "other" place is vastly different to ours is highly unlikely.
You work with what already exists around you...

There is not one totally "alien" thing or concept that we as a species can come up with ...that isn't based in part on the natural laws existent as its base...at the least.

One does not create from a "nothing" from a "no concept of anything at all"
One creates and extrapolates based on what surrounds one...
regardless it being a wet brain (biological) or dry brain (computer) ..
this place is "experiential"
Plain and simple.
Ergo ...it has been based on a similar "experiential" origin.
