I don’t think this hypothetical universe is comparable in the relevant ways: it must be capable of representing the concept of an observer, and what that observer knows (has mutual information with), and adhere to the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Which I don’t think is the case here.
No, that’s the point Jack brought up. I was only discussing the issues that arise in the hypothetical scenario in which the universe is simulated in an “overworld” and must successfully continue to fool us.

Wait, there has to be an observer? I thought you were really just talking about entangled wave-functions etc.
