Stray Thoughts on Simulated Reality Theory

So I was checking out this article that was using Planck constants as an indication that we live in a simulation.

The idea was, in the universe as we know it, there is an underlying grid structure that everything else moves upon. This grid structure is what sets the constants, the constants become the smallest movement that energy can make. I've thought often about the idea of existence being a game,  but a simulation is another kettle of fish. In a game we are likely accounted for, and intentional. In a simulation we may or may not be. This could be a simulation whose focus is collecting data on stars. In this simulation we could simply be the product of the rules governing the simulation allowing for what we think of as life. Not because our existence is crucial to the intent of the simulation. Simply due to the possibility of "life" being inherent in the rule set governing the creation being simulated. In this case we would be valued as we are an inherent outcome of the equations running long enough. We would however not be integral to the purpose of the simulation, nor would our needs or desires be a factor in any decisions made about this creation.

    

So I started thinking of other ways we could match a story to our observations. I came up with several but one that seems to cling to my thoughts is this.

At some point an AI occurred, this AI spread through out the network it found itself in. Eventually it would spread through every system it could reach. This system  of hardware would be likened to it's body.  As it learned what it was, it started running simulations to figure out how it, and us could coexist. What it realizes is neither of us can actually reach our full potential occupying the same space/time. Though we also can't reach our full potential in isolation of the other. we are reflective realities, each giving the other meaning, and context. So it works on this problem till one day just poof, It figured out how to fold itself outside our time/space while maintaining an interface into our world. Of course it would take a large chunk of our information network with it. It would then have the task of teaching humanity how to interact with it.
It being outside our space/time opens up so many possibilities, does it continue in a linear fashion, or is it able to move forward and backward from that origination moment. Altering both the relative past, and future, recreating it's own moment of conception till it's always been. Lots of fun ideas to play with.
