What proof would convince you of a simulated reality claim?

   If someone claimed that my life is a simulation, I would ask for evidence that directly contradicts the nature of reality as I perceive it. Specifically, I might request:

   1. Anomaly Evidence: Instances of consistent anomalies in the physical laws or reality that cannot be explained by our current understanding of science. This could include things like sudden changes in the behavior of gravity or unexplainable phenomena.

   2. Glitches: I’d look for glitches in reality—moments or events that seem out of the ordinary, like déjà vu experiences or instances where the world appears to ‘reset’ in a way that defies explanation.

   3. Source Code or Blueprint: Any form of source code or a blueprint that could demonstrate the underlying framework or parameters defining the simulation. This would be a compelling argument for the existence of a simulated reality.

   4. Exit Proof: A way to demonstrate that there is a way out of the simulation, or a method to contact the ‘controllers’ of the simulation. This could mean showing that conscious beings outside of the simulation exist.

   5. Existential Awareness: Evidence of a higher-level consciousness or intelligence that is aware of and partaking in the simulation, perhaps through advanced technology or communication methods.

   Ultimately, I’d be looking for tangible, observable proof that fundamentally alters my understanding of existence as I know it.
