Assuming that our universe isn't a construct created by system in another universe, and that we become capable of creating a construct ourselves that is of comparable complexity to our own, we would refer to our universe as real and to the created universe as virtual. The reality experienced by those living within such a construct would be a simulated reality, while ours would be actual reality. Now suppose that those living within the simulated reality come to suspect that they are living in a virtual universe. What might clues might they expect to find?
