And eventually the number of simulated universes will be much larger than the number of real universes (one), so the probability is that WE are actually living in a simulated universe, not the one and only real one.
In fact, the odds are 50/50. If you're somewhere in the middle of the chain, you have visibility down to the lower levels of it, but not to the upper levels, without the upper levels choosing to communicate with you. As we are not apparently running this kind of simulation, we can only be at the Top of the Chain, or the Bottom of the Chain.
The universe does seem to have some simulation-like properties, but my suspicion is that this is a product of whatever the medium is that allows the universe to exist, rather than a literal computer. Whatever the parent existence is, there is no guarantee that it has properties which we would find familiar.
