Consider billions of immortal spirits living out a collective mortal experience where the power structures created wouldn’t matter once the experience ended. You might consider it a dream where the only importance lies in the final outcome for each spirit, not what is gained.

A simulation requires a developer, in this case the Father who sets it in motion, defines its laws, rules for users, and the system’s end condition. This is the creator of the system who gets to determine what the system can do and what its purpose is. He also creates the users.

The Enemy presents as a virus within the system causing breakdowns and disfavorable outcomes for users. Users also create massive entropy with their scattered choices following broken virus pathways instead of intended developer pathways.

Jesus Christ in this system is the developer’s avatar sent down to correct a fatal flaw introduced by the users interacting with the virus, and to present a clear instructional guide to users in the future who want to avoid contamination, system errors, and a bad outcome.

The Holy Spirit would present as something like a program introduced by the developer to maintain system integrity with trillions of microtweaks to counteract the virus and wayward users. The system constantly corrects around the users to present better pathways back to the truth

This is important because often Christians get to feeling like the world is random and capricious. Instead, it can he helpful to remember the Spirit makes countless microtweaks around us to counteract all evils and give us new chances to return to where we should be.

This is my own flawed understanding of this analogy of a simulation and the Trinity, but it’s been helpful for me to envision how each of the three play out in a real sense throughout the world. The Trinity can seem nebulous to many, so hopefully this helps.

I also see the usefulness in the simulation idea. As a former atheist, one of my first steps to God was conceiving of a way that there could logically BE a creator. Before I did that, the idea seemed too ridiculous to entertain.

Things here are a shadow of the things to come! When people first started talking about simulated universe more, this is right where my mind went. Of course it looks like a machine - it is one!
