Quantum theory says it's many simultaneous simulations.
Also..

I have a question tho.
Tickrate per millimeter. Is it a constant.. or is a millimeter from sea level greater or lesser of a tickrate difference from closer to the sun. So... say. A line at an altitude above the solar gravitational center and another is that same distance +1 millimeter
Vs a line at an altitude a mile above earth and one that's that distance +1 militer.
Is the tickrate time flow differential equal between both sets of altitudes. Does the stronger gravity well of the sun make a difference.
?
Is the relationship linear? Exponential? Parabolic? Hyperbolic? Or something else entirely.
We can assume for the sake of simplicity that these different lines at different altitudes form circles. Or orbits about the gravitational center of each object. Tho I suspect that larger structures would always deform them at a distance in a realistic environment vs a hypothetical one.
