In the context of Simulation Theory, the ontology of my life as a time traveler made a lot more sense. I had not run into potential time travel paradoxes such as the Grandfather Paradox because I was not really a time traveler in some ill-conceived “physical” sense. Rather, with the cosmos as such and as a whole being always only a virtual system of information processing, what I was doing was resetting various “games” that were ongoing within the context of this quantum computational system. Computer games can be saved in such a way that it is possible to return to a previous state of play, and then replay the game forwards in another way. What I was arguing is that our cosmos works in the same way.
