Excellent article and exercise friend, very enjoyable indeed. I shall follow on for more or your explorations.
Personally I have been feeling drawn to the idea that we are sensory bio-computing modules, processing from the data pool of reality. A software or program that said creator has set on auto renew and perhaps like minecraft is subject to hacks and upgrades.
For example, should we upgrade our modules of perception beyond that of basic survival in our level of the game and socio-interpersonal functions. Could we perhaps attain a level of creator-consciousness that then has the ability to calculate enough equations in real-time (simply a measure of passing data expressed through space within the simulation) thus create new boundaries for that existence. Certainly I would hypothesis that this is not far from our current innerstanding of our experience.
Never the less, the race is to actualize this realization or "enlightenment" before the said timer expires. Given that it would seem the memory storage is rebooted and reinstalled with a new operating system each time the infinite life loop resets.
One hack I have played with during a little sub-mission in game was the shifting of seemingly primordial system requirements such as sleep. During a month long prolonged polyphasic sleep experiment, it did succulent and lucidly occur to me that whilst I was moving the margins for one level of game play, the lucidity allowed for a bleed through of another dimension of simulation that did indeed and doing have a much more flexible code of mathematics and certainly ditched the concept of the limiting time experience.
I am since reading your piece inspired to revisit those areas of conception/inception related levels of awareness, if it weren't for the matter in this simulation glitching out and my hair finally falling off the back of my head (around the crown chakra) then I may well have still been playing both games within this one pool of data quite happily.
Wholeness.
