The single-universe prior seems to be tripping people up, and I wonder whether it's truly necessary.

Also, what if the simulation existed inside a larger simulated "moat" universe, but if there is any leakage into the moat universe, then the whole simulation shuts down immediately.

What do you mean by leakage?

If the simulation exists in the moat universe, then when anything changes in the simulation something in the moat changes.

Then if there are dangerous simulation configurations, it could damage the moat universe.

I wasn't precise enough. I mean if anything changes in the areas of the moat universe not implementing the simulation.

Neat!
