At the end of his rant over the anti-feminism complained Eliezer said
One interpretation would be that Hermione goes FOOM.
Harry already knows how to create sentinent artificial entities. He made the hat sentinent.
He knows that trolls are magicial creates that constantly self transmute.
He likely has put hermonine's body into a safe place. At the end of chapter 91 he wants a last one and a half minutes with the body of hermoine.
The fact that he wants her to seal the room suggests that he used his time turner during the time in the room to bring hermoine's body to safety and telling McGonagall to seal the room prevents other people from finding out that the body is gone.
At the end of chapter 91, McGonagall looks into the room and sees (something that looks sufficiently like) Hermione's body. So whatever's meant to have happened by that point, it isn't that Harry has just taken it away without any measures to make it look as if he hasn't.
What if Harry transfigured the bedsheet to look like Hermione, and the transfiguration wore off some time later?
Another, which I find more plausible, is that Eliezer was just making a joke, the whole point of which is that he isn't revealing anything.
(I don't think it's completely impossible that he did mean something by it, but I wouldn't give that more than 5% probability.)
It will probably come up as a metaphor, pun, or brief reference to either MLP transhumanist fanfic or to Alicorn's Luminosity (which contains a princess).

I haven't read Friendship is Optimal; it sounds like there are some similarities, with FIO on the simulation side.
