They could just hardcode it..

- ajuc 14y agoIf we're simulation, we're almost certainly emergent phenomena (laws of physics as we discovered them doesn't say anything about humans, they operate on much lower level of abstraction). Those, that run our simulation may even don't know we're there. Imagine intelligent life evolved in huge game of life grid (it's possible assuming inteligence is turing-complete). We may look at the strange patterns and never know they are intelligent, never mind communicating with them, or decoding what they're up to from the patterns.
