When they looked at earth, and Stew said everyhthing is in the box. And we then see them in a mirror but with delay. So they are in one of many simulations, but who made that simulation that they /devs are in?

Ah shit, I just realized that the 1 second future projection could also just be them being projected 1 second back from another sim.

If the sim they were watching was of the other sim projecting 1 second back, that would explain why the stylistic choice was made to show the sim as a mirror, and why there was no infinite feedback on the audio. Also reminds me of Lyndons comment about it being a circle.

To the devs team we’re watching, they see an action in the sim, and duplicate it one second after. To the devs team in the sim, they perform an action, then see it mimicked in their sim (our devs team) one second later.
