simulated reality

Simulated Reality is the idea that our perceived reality could be a computer-generated simulation, much like a highly advanced virtual reality. This concept suggests that what we experience as the physical world might be created by a sophisticated system, similar to how video games create immersive environments. It raises philosophical questions about consciousness, existence, and the nature of reality. Proponents often point to advancements in technology, such as virtual reality, to suggest that creating a convincing simulation is feasible. This idea has gained attention through films like "The Matrix," which explore the implications of living in a simulated world.
