The Difference Between Simulation and Reality

The difference between a simulation and the reality is that the simulation is modeling some aspects of the dynamics of a domain on a different causal substrate. So you have a computer game in which you can shoot a gun, but there is no proper physics in the game to recreate what's happened in real world when you shoot a gun. And instead, it is using a different causal structure of your software program to give you something that gives you good enough dynamics so you can interact with the world. Our own mental model of ourselves is a mixture of simulation and similar form.
