Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but wouldn’t a “massive game of life” also be a simulation? I guess there’s a difference between a mechanistic simulation with emergent intelligence vs a Matrix-like one designed to accommodate (an) intelligence. It’s an important distinction but they’re both simulations.
Yes, the universe is a quantum computer that is continuously calculating itself.
“Simulation theory” suggests we’re part of some other being’s simulation.
