I'm not a big believer in the "we're living in a simulation" version of reality. 

In a sense, it seems, well, immaterial, because we are already living in the simulation in our heads.

But if I someone had built a simulation of the universe, it would make sense that the lowest layer that we can find is literally just very precise math, until it is forced into a "real" value by an interaction. 

And that's pretty much what quantum mechanics is.

Moderate-to-severe symptoms.

We tend to use the dominant technology of our time as a metaphor for the whole world.

The world as a book, the world as a clock, etc.

The dominant technology of the now is the computer, so we see the world as a computer.

But it says more about our relationship to technology than anything about the world.
