All four are partially correct. It is a simulation. And you're it. When you die your own private Idaho ends *poof*.
This can all be modeled within the framework of conscioIntelligence, CI = UCP + OR. When you are that tabula rasa simuloid in your mother's womb you begin to occupy a representation of the world. Since there is little structure yet the communication protocol is simple. After you are born that occupation expands and protocols are built up. Structure is shared amongst other simulators. Symbol negentropy is maintained and you could also say a memetic pressure exists among those agents. Communication, particularly, is done through your eyes, ears, mouth, etc.. When you chow down on that big cheese burrito what are you doing? You are occupying a representation of the glorious nature of it all 😊 And, the universe observes itself though your senses, or occupies a representation of itself by observing through everyone’s senses… informational structure gets instantiated, transmitted amongst people nodes. Whether or not a big alien is running it all is another topic, intelligent design? deity? Those topics used to be taboo like UFO’s even though we have public military footage of UFO's now.
