I would suggested it was a distinction without a difference.

There is a classic answer to this :-/

Show me the uncaused cause or something outside of physics and we can talk

In the context of the simulated world uncaused causes and breaking physics are easy. Hack the simulation, write directly to the memory, and all things are possible.

It's just the inside/outside view again.
