We know everything is made from atoms. Atoms are made from quarks. Quarks are the cause of energy i.e. if it is the smallest particle.
Now, if even if we are in a simulation, does it really have to be a simulation like a computer simulation?
Imagine, there is an experiment with monkeys. They are kept in a cage. The cage has one sided glass walls. We can see the monkeys but they can't. We force the monkeys to learn how to live by controlling various aspects inside the box using advanced technology like weather, changing how their brain works etc.
Now, lets assume we are in the same situation in the monkeys except we were not intended to be one.
This will now split into two parts:
1) Non-Base Reality Theory
First the "higher beings" make a blank canvas, our universe or possibly multiverse.
Well technically this is the main concept of the simulation theory but here our variation comes into play. What if the big bang was the start of the simulation? Now that the simulation started, they provide it with energy (not going over the concept of energy of my theory YET, I am still pondering on it) and now we need to make sure that it uses that energy. So, they form quarks with only one attribute 'exist(energy)'. We can see from this attribute that energy is at integral part of existence. Now the quarks acts a vessel of energy.
Now what happens if we leave these quarks for a long time? They overflow with energy and become unstable. They cannot attain the mark of "exist" in the attribute. So now they have one choice, bonding. They bond with each other and thus, we now get protons and electrons. Mind you, this first bonding, according to my theory, should happen in one nanosecond or less since energy has to go somewhere by the rules of this world. Now these particles combine to form atoms. Here it gets interesting, the particles start prioritizing the existence attribute as a whole. If the atoms are unstable, it sacrifices an electron or vice versa. Then over time these atoms bond together to form elements. These atoms now prioritize the existence of the element as a whole. Atoms then form molecules, still carrying the attribute.
We know that we are made up of cells. Cells are made from protein. Protein from amino acid and that stuff. Now these amino acids are molecules. Since this attribute has gone through so many hands, it is now an entangled mess. Its the same thing but way too much. Now these proteins started living together as cells, mostly bacteria. Now instead of merging into something else when needed, they tried to be patriotic i.e. they defended their existence by killing others of its kind just to follow the attribute.
Now you will be able to notice (if you ready a bit of history on human biology or just biology in general) that those bacteria who were getting killed, joined hands and formed bigger bacteria and finally organisms with cells. There are so many quarks joining their attributes that it transforms from ` exist(energy) -> survive(energy) `. Overtime here we are, as humans.
Then where did "emotions" come from? They are also a fault due to the entangled mess of attributes. Instead of just surviving we now compare it to the best possible survivable situation. These lead to the creation of emotions. Our brain is the control center prioritizing the living of the body as a whole.
I will write the second variant of the variant later
PS: I am still pondering what anti matter and dark matter has relation to this.
