I suggest a better proof-of-concept.
Lock someone in a box that has a monitor or some other method of talking to them, but no method of them talking to the rest of the world. They are presumably still conscious, but it would be impossible for the rest of the world to tell.
One way to do this would be to drop them in a black hole. Once they pass the event horizon, they cannot communicate with you, but you can still communicate with them, at least for a little while.
Another example is the universe as a whole. It has no input or output. How could it? Where would they lead? It still has conscious beings.
Like this.
I mean the entire universe, not just the part we see. If we're in a simulation, the universe would include the computer the simulation is running on, along with everything else.
I thought the link would lead to this.
