Thanks for that A-M! Fascinating and thought-provoking stuff, although I found my brain turning to jelly occasionally as it was going along and I really had to refocus my attention on the ideas flying at me as it progressed. I got the gist of the whole thing though.

The simulation hypothesis proposes that all of reality, including the earth and the universe, is in fact an artificial simulation, most likely a computer simulation. Some versions rely on the development of a simulated reality, a proposed technology that would seem realistic enough to convince its inhabitants the simulation was real. The hypothesis has been a central plot device of many science fiction stories and films.
