    Chances are that we’re not in a simulation, but you’re right that for our universe to be simulated, the host universe would need fundamentally different physics.

    Even then, I feel like you’re underestimating the scale of the universe. Dwarf Fortress is laughably simple compared to a real universe. It’s a toy. You’d need something more than a couple extra dimensions for our universe to be at all comparable to that.

        Compared to a universe, they’re equally complex.

        Tic tac toe is on the order of 10^2 bytes.

        The Dwarf Fortress install is 10^8.

        The number of particles in our universe? 10^80
