Would we really understand a glitch if we saw one? At the most basic level, our best models of reality are strongly counter-intuitive. It’s possible that internal observers will incorporate such findings into their own laws of physics. Engineering itself can be said to be applied munchkinry, such as enabling heavier than air flight. Never underestimate the ability of humans to get acclimatized to anything!
Uncertainty about the actual laws of physics in the parent universe, allowing for computation being so cheap they don’t have to cut corners in simulations.
3)Retroactive editing of errors, with regular snapshots of the simulation being saved and then manually adjusted when deviations occur. Or simply deleting memories of inaccuracies from the minds of observers.
That reminds me of the extreme version of #3: Boltzmann Brain simulation. There’s no reason to believe that the simulation has a time dimension, or is somehow calculating one instant to the next. Perhaps it’s JUST a single instantaneous experience being simulated, and all of your memory and anticipation is just baked into the setup of yourself, and you’re terminated just after this experience.
