Initially the beings are pure minds existing in a empty universe, so there’s no risk of dying or killing yourself, but plenty of driving yourself mad. If they want a body, they have to imagine it into existence like anything else. They reproduce by imagining other beings into existence. I’m not really sure where the first one came from or how it learned anything, but at this point they have a thriving society and a culture for training new minds how to exist in harmony with the others. One of the chief concerns of the beings is maintaining the norms of this culture with the worst possible punishment being ostracism for people who don’t play by the rules.
Objects imagined into existence follow the laws of physics you imagine along with them, so you could have ice that melts or a perpetual motion machine if you want that instead.
It’s also possible to create “planes” with more restrictive rules (sort of like spinning up a VM in a computer).
