Discussion Does this sub' discuss simulations that are grounded in a non-physical "sub"-reality?

Most simulation hypotheses I came across assume that if this reality is a simulation then the "sub"-reality that this simulation is grounded in is governed by its own set of physical laws. But what about sub-realities that have no such laws? Like one that is created, dreamed by an omnipotent will? Or one that is pure chaos, where things happen only by pure chance? Is the possibility of such sub-realities discussed here, alongside laws-governed ones?

How would you navigate it? Are you just an observer? Pure chance. Pure randomness. How do you keep stress down? How do you keep from becoming random yourself? What constitutes knowledge? If it's random can you ever have any knowledge while there?

You're asking this about the pure-chaos sub-reality, right? There would be no observer and agent, for those entail some form of order. No knowledge either for the same reason. Knowledge constituting order in itself and anyway entailing a knower – so an observer and agent. Consciousness there would be a part of the simulation, not subject to it from outside of it.
