Ages ago I talked about this with Ron Garret here on HN and he pointed me to his Google Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEaecUuEqfc https://www.youtube.c

  Now the problem is, how do we jailbreak? Or, if we can't, how do we study the host environment from within a simulation? My thoughts are: I'd assume the creatures who created the simulation would create it based on the same environment they are living in. That means, they probably look like us, even behave like us, but are far more intelligent than us. I'd also assume that some Physics laws are different. For example time most likely passes a lot slower outside of the simulation than within.

    Some other thoughts as I cannot edit the reply. - For Physics laws, I'd say the host environment is most likely also 3d + time = spacetime. It shouldn't be of higher dimension unless they deliberately wanted to do so. - Again the speed of light is probably also a hard limit in the host env, but maybe of a different value to ease the resources needed. - I don't know anything about souls, but if the soul is simply a piece of core data inside of each entity, I think there is a way to conserve the soul and inject it into another entity, and they have exactly the same soul (no real death). - There might be some ways to be the "malware" of humans. - There might be some ways to escape from the monitor programs, whatever they are, like malware. - How does the host update the simulation without we feeling it?
