In Bhagavad Gita it is mentioned how the "Knowingness is composed of three elements- the knower - the act of knowing ( seen here as the tool) - the object that is being known.

Each stands and opperates autonomously since this is how a 3 dimensional system is possible.

Here, 2500 years later, the tools have become more intelligent and complex than the knower and the nature of reality. This is not a simulation. It is just the holographic dimension of our psyche pouring itself into our reason in order to integrate and adapt, at a cognitive level.
