I’ve long felt that simulations are NOT the same as actual realities, though I can’t precisely articulate the difference.
One of them has some form of computational device on the outside. One of them doesn’t. Does there need to be more difference than that? ie. If you want to treat them differently and if some sort of physical distinction between the two is possible then by all means consider them different based on that difference.
