The universe isn’t limited to object-level proofs that exist in the universe, I guess. Perhaps the universe has access to the list of everything which is true about the universe?
I don’t. It’s not accessible from the object level, or any combination of first-order meta levels. it takes at least a second-order meta (2°meta:1°meta::1°meta:object) to create such a list, and I can’t even begin to explain what second-order meta means.
Well, I can consider the analogous situation where time travel is repeated in an attempt for Emperor Yingling of Scandinavia to convince all of his respective kingdoms to adopt ultimogeniture secession before he dies, so that his youngest son won’t have to fight secession wars as he tries to expand into Rus while defending Aragorn from upstarts who object to imperial expansion by marriage.
I don’t think that save-scumming is immoral because simulations are dying, although I am receptive to arguments that it is immoral because it breaks the rules.

Well, how do you make that list?
I don’t. It’s not accessible from the object level, or any combination of first-order meta levels. it takes at least a second-order meta (2°meta:1°meta::1°meta:object) to create such a list, and I can’t even begin to explain what second-order meta means.
All right, so long as you realize that means you can’t evaluate whether or not such a thing is possible. :-)
Argument from confusion doesn’t work.
