Okay, my simulation point was admittedly a bit of colorful analogy
Fair enough; if it’s not load-bearing for your view, that’s fine. I do remain skeptical, and can sketch out why if it’s of interest, but feel no particular need to continue.
That’s fine, I was using the word simulation in a much, much looser sense than is usually used, and is closer to @janus’s use of the word simulator/simulation than what physicists/chemists use.

We can discuss this another time.
