I was joking that Fleischmann and Pons had stumbled on a bug in the simulation and were getting energy out of nowhere.
I assume that a few basic principles (e.g. non-decreasing entropy, P≠NP, Church-Turing thesis, and of course all of mathematics) hold in the simulators’ universe, which need not otherwise look anything like ours. This rules out god-like hypercomputation. In that case, one way to get accurate enough predictions is to make multiple runs with different random seeds and observe the distributions of the futures. Then they can pick one. (Collapse of the wave function!)
This type of cold fusion.
