What if there is no intelligent manipulation? What if, for example, we find evidence of a granular lattice underlying the universe, aligned along a set of axes?

What if there is no intelligent manipulation? What if, for example, we find evidence of a granular lattice underlying the universe, aligned along a set of axes? That would be huge evidence in favor of the simulation theory but require no absolute knowledge of all things.
- rl3 13y agoIt may be huge evidence in favor, but it would not be definitive proof, simply because we would not be able to rule out said intelligent manipulation (or other potential scenarios that would lead us to believe we reside in a simulation, when in fact we do not). I know requiring a standard of proof that deals in absolutes may seem unreasonable. However, consider that the question these experiments seek to answer not only concerns the very nature of our existence, but whether this existence is a synthetic illusion as well.
