The computer could just halve our clock speed every time we launch a new simulation. No matter how many simulations we launch, our clock speed never reaches zero, so everything continues as normal inside our simulation. Problem solved! Suggested reading: "Hotel Infinity" followed by "Permutation City".

If you wanted to launch a higher order of infinity number of ssimulation from inside our simulation, that would be another story...

That's the unbounded computation case.
