Show HN: An effort to explore the Simulation Theory

Unfortunately, this was a bit to long to fit into HN's submission text field:

https://drive.proton.me/urls/HDA5M1MJEC#JcyAWGpy9PXl

It's 6 pages consisting of explanations/examples of logic/code to arrive at the conclusions.

It also just occurred that the "ID" part turns into "13", as in what will be aired in "Best Moments Of" re-broadcasts on TV next Monday, the 13th.

It would especially be appreciated if someone was knowledgeable enough to write a program figuring out the probability of all this being coincidental.

Anyway, should you care to amuse yourself with "something different", again, the document is 6 pages (1 of which is mostly images).

For anyone who downloaded it in and took the time to read it, thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    It was an interesting read, I gotta give you that. It's hard to correlate your findings with real-world evidence of a simulated universe, though. I'm not sure if there is such a program that could prove you right or wrong here.

    Maybe I can put your mind to rest, though? Language is a system of patterns at the end of the day - you're not wrong for noticing these similarities, but you'd be wise to acknowledge them as subjective. Your mind is fabricating these correlations because that's what it wants to do. They aren't inherently wrong, but their correctness is not enforced by any logic or laws of the known universe I'm aware of.
