The True Nature of the Simulation

Only what is needed to be seen by the observer is rendered

just like a video game

if a large-world style game like Zelda for example, would crash if it actually rendered the entire game world all the time.

The double split experiment suggests that perhaps matter doesn't really "render" until it is observed (needs to appear to exist)

So, you wouldn't need a huge amount of computational power

the real trick would be the force which keeps so many "people" on the same server and in sync...

Yeah; I had the figured the same sort of conclusion; I just didn't know what the "reward" was really. But I know that we are all in a competition of sorts here. It's not really about how much money you make; all though determination is a great asset to have.

I don't think I'll get immortality off this life; but perhaps I'm closer to attaining it than my last life. Not sure. Actually I'm not overly sure that we actually get more than one chance at this; because we get a LOT of training on the other side of sorts. Or in the very least we know a lot about this place.

Either way; there's no telling that the "Analogue" as you call it; is the final destination. Or if it's just another layer of separation; maybe it's better to just not think too much about it.

Medical Technological Development created methods of indefinite "anti-aging" long long ago, beyond ancient. Along with this, quantum computer networks were also developed with the capability of simulating every aspect of reality as it is interpreted by the human brain.

These quantum computer networks are used to "screen" general humanity. They have created this/these holographic simulation(s) as (a) screening area(s) where they just pick and choose who they allow into the "real" based on certain requirements. Think about it, in a world where physical immortality is possible through medical science and technology, how else could it be?

These immortals are human, or maybe more accurately described as technologically aided post-human that every human has the potential to be. Those with access to such technology would have some decisions to make. Certain questions would inevitably arise. Would the ones with access to immortality inducing technology be able to intermingle with those who do not? Why would one be denied access? Is everyone respectful of the rights of others? Does everyone deserve indefinitely extended life? Are humans born inherently "good?"

Many other concerns with natural balance and overpopulation would also arise when immortality is possible through technology. When no one dies, yet reproduction is still possible, overpopulation and resource shortage can happen very quickly. Also because of this concept, when the population within the simulation reaches a pre-determined "critical mass", a "programmed" cataclysm occurs, and "resets" the population back to a manageable amount.

These virtual holo-realities were created so they can just pick and choose who they share their immortal universe with, and the rest just live out their lives, never realizing they exist within a simulation, all the while, a fragile equilibrium with nature is maintained. And because of the cataclysm cycle programmed into the simulation, the immortal humans get to pick from the best minds of countless possible human civilizations and the types of people they produce. You would be surprised at how diverse the spectrum of human cultural possibility is, and how a culture can shape the syntax of thought for an individual. There have been some amazing technologies that have come out of unlikely places.

Your real body, outside the simulation, "dreaming" this reality, that is your true soul, your true physical body. And not everyone within this simulation has one, some people might actually be Artificial Intelligence, and only exist as part of the simulation. Are they real? Do they possess sentience? Are they aware? I don't know. I guess whatever one feels to be their "source" or "point of origin" would determine their individual life/religious philosophy.

Immortality is one of those things that, if everyone knew it was possible, it would do more damage than good. If people knew for a fact that this was the goal, would their actions and convictions be genuine? Its just one of those things that one does not get to know about.... until...... well ...you pass the test.

Best described in terms of digital vs analogue.

Also...

Particle vs. Wave.

The more you seek, the farther away it gets.

God is you.

This is the reality of our reality

Think about living a life of at least 2000 years, think of the crap they had to witness. They have seen more than they would have ever wanted to.

They probably Hiding in a quite cave some where as far from people as they can get. Come out sometimes for food and supplies and back they go. More than likely they would not want to see the others that often either, that way they don't get tired of them.

They would not live a normal life, cause they would have to watch people they had come to care about pass from this world and they can not. So, it hiding a dying ever so often to reappear as a look a like, but with a new name. Well, that is the way I would be, if I had to live that long on earth, they may have like the quit times before all the new gadgets Like the mess we are in now, of course they may have something to do with it, payback, for all the trouble.

They would be wrong to do it, and on the chance it was some one like that, turn it off. It is drive some of us out of our heads. Insomnia is going around, I used to think I was rare well not now. Ever one I now has insomnia! That is not normal and sure is not helping any one.

what came first, digital or analogue? I am inclined to believe that analogue came first. Digital then came along attempting to emulate analogue.

Now imagine, a level above analogue. That is the world outside the simulation.

Mind you, the digital/analogue comparison was only used for lack of a better common frame of reference and may not entirely accurately describe the concept I am attempting to convey.
