Sorry.  Perhaps I should have seen from the context that you were
refering to the whole universe.  I thought that you were refering
to someone simulating just the world of our daily lives.  That's
the usual case, e.g., people talk about, say, simulating
20th century Earth civilization.  Your speculations about
someone simulating the entire visible universe are novel.

Sorry, I love math and spend some hours each week studying it,
but I don't have time to get into your models of reality.  My
intuition tells me that they aren't germane to the phisophical
implications of simulations anyway.
