Which in relation to simulation theory, that would indicate that no simulation could possibly be "lesser than" but simply a lateral move. With, at MOST, geometries that would be considered "simpler" to the prior "reality". But that doesn't destroy the possibility that those geometries are also cyclical, and a few simulations deep you don't end up back at the same patterns as the "home reality"
Its just a thought experiment. While yes the first reality to the first simulation may use a subset of information to create that simulation. We have no clue of how, when that simulation creates a simulation, then that one creates a simulation, and so on, would turn out. If each simulation is designed to evolve with the evolution of it's internal intelligence we can't predict how a simulation 20+ down the line may look. Of course they could all just be a continuous stream of "boiled down" realities. In that case eventually you reach a point where the prior simulation is so basic, it has no more basic subsets from which to build yet another simulation.
Or maybe we are all just the results of an advanced probability algorithm designed to trouble shoot problems on the home reality. Who knows. It's all conjecture.
Yea this is why I try not to draw distinctive conclusions about the "precise" nature of things. There are definitely patterns that can be identified, and subsequent conclusions that can be drawn. Such as, if time actually IS a non-linear singularity sifting through itself, it stands to reason that all possible realities exist simultaneously within that singularity. Which brings up the "one electron" theory. There's so many tangents to consider.
