When you go one level deeper, you realize that there's no difference between a simulation of a universe and a universe.
This is only tangential, but a few months ago I vaporized 50mg of DMT after spending a day studying linear algebra and differential equations. You only ever take back flashes, but I remember seeing this higher-dimensional hypercube where every "face" of the cube was a 3 dimensional space. I came away from that trip feeling that our universe was just one of infinitely many solutions to a higher-dimensional equation. I still haven't decided if that makes any sense or not.
