Are We Characters in a Cosmic Program?

Have you ever had a moment of intense déjà vu, or witnessed a coincidence so perfect it felt scripted? For centuries, philosophers have debated whether our reality is truly "real." Plato envisioned us as prisoners in a cave, seeing only shadows of a more real world. Today, that ancient question has a modern twist: Are we living in a computer simulation?

My work on The Recursive Proof explores this very idea, not as mere science fiction, but as a compelling hypothesis that modern science, especially the rapid advancement of AI, is beginning to test. The concept of recursion, a process that repeats itself, feeding its output back into its input, is found everywhere from mathematics to the patterns of a fern. What if reality itself is such a process?

As we build AI that can create its virtual worlds, we are forced to ask: Could we be the product of a similar, more advanced intelligence? This isn't just a thought experiment; it's a profound question about the very nature of our existence.
