Relatedly, I’ve always found quantum mechanics to be reasonable “proof” that we’re living in a simulation.

Take wave-partical duality: how is that not an artifact of the implementors wanting to reuse some core routines from an legacy particle-based universe while building our next-gen wave based one? The particle-based simulation wouldn’t work at the scales needed, so they moved to waves (much easier to simulate), and rigged up some adaptors to switch to particle mode in a JIT manner as needed.

The folks trying to unify quantum and classical mechanics are essentially reverse-engineering that JIT (and others like it).
