That’s exactly what would happen in a simulation.




Yup, if we're in a simulation pretty much all bets are off. Mandela Effect could merely be update patches. It could patch a proof that our world is not a simulation.

But the folks running the simulation don't realise they are in a simulation.

What do you mean?

Let’s assume it’s simulations all the way down and we exist in plane P=n. The question is are we at n=0.

Looks like this result says we can’t simulate our plane in a computer. But the stuff in that simulation exists in P=n+1. So maybe the conclusion is “you can’t simulate n from within n+1” which means we can’t simulate our own plane, let alone our potential parent, and doesn’t mean we don’t have one


Take the room you're in and simulate it with a computer. Now, bring the computer into the room.
