Huh? A program interacts with another program directly. There is no interface. It makes no difference to the OS of the HW node whether the program is running virtual Paris on the root level of the physical machine or virtual virtual Paris on one of the virtual machines. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > If not you aren't really doing multi level simulation (simulation in a > > > simulation)... but a single level one where you made it look like multi > > > level. > > > > Example: if you run a virtual machine (like virtual box) and you > > virtualize > > > an OS and inside that one you run a virtual box that run another os > > inside > > > it, the second level cannot go to the first level (as the first level > > can't > > > reach the host) unless an interface between them exists. > > > No, you can.

I can make a million nested layers of virtual worlds and I can make it so the same virtual fire burns in all of them, with no interface required. It would magically burn on command if I wanted it to. It's no problem at all unless I want it to burn outside of the root level - into the literal reality of time-space-matter-energy.
