‘So what’s the problem?’ he asked her, sternly, but she could notice the fervor beginning to peak in the pitch of his usually guttural voice.

‘There isn’t one..Technically. At least, the AI decompression algorithm doesn’t see it as a problem but…but we might.’

She sighed at his anger. ‘It means the data it sent through was so condensed into a singular point of information, that in order for us to interpret it fully…It…It will encase us. We become immersed in it. We will have to live INSIDE the simulation as it decompresses in order to grasp the enormity of the data as it unfolds in real time. It’s like walking through a holographic memory, except all of the matter is so dense, it IS your new physical reality. And…And, Sir, we run the very real risk of becoming so immersed that we….that we forget it’s a Simulation.’
