everything I learn about quantum is exactly how I would code a lazy evaluation approximation of a real universe.
Fun thought experiment: consider that it's the other way around. Our current understanding of subatomic physics is informed by the way we would code lazy approximation. The same way that every man who tries to implement flight from scratch starts with a device that flaps. We just don't perceive how the world at that scale primed our advancement. The universe led us to code that way.
There was one somewhat credible theory that space doesn't even exist, that everything is a graph. So there's no spooky action at a distance because the entangled parts are right next to each other in the graph even if they are far away in 'space'.
If it's something like that we may never be able to figure out what's truly going on.

What we see is only a fraction of what is. Our brains are not capable of perceiving the raw energy that is flowing around us all the time.
I dont think we live in a simulation, it just appears that way because the universe has to manifest itself somehow.
And even if we did, it still wouldnt really matter, in the end we are still the universe experiencing itself.
