If we're in an alien simulation, what are they studying? Their matter or thought exploring itself?

And how do we see dreams? Does this mean the material of the Earth possesses a simulation? So, our brain can create simulations internally? Is nature an AI?

In another moment down went Alice after him, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again

>If we're in an alien simulation, what are they studying?
Us. Not physics, since any given simulation already has to assume some kind of physics—us. There is not something else to study. Law of parsimony
>And how do we see dreams?
You don't. It's a lot more complicated than you imagine.
>Does this mean the material of the Earth possesses a simulation?
Yes. Otherwise sophons would have a problem with mathematical impossibility, and manipulation of any physical system comes up as mathematically impossible.
>our brain can create simulations internally?
Tends toward "not really," or 'not really' if you subscribe too hard on your autism switch.

I estimate. Giving life its own feedback core for a given world makes soul sensing so much easier.

They might not be studying anything. Maybe they are trying to brainwash us or are farming us or something. See picrel.

It turns out they are using us?
