Note that the simulation needs experience no more then an recording of the environment you yourself experience. So, nano-bug yourself and play the recording to the simulation after some delay. As long as the simulation stays in synch with the recording there is no difference, when and if the simulation gets out of synch with the recording you have detected a difference. There is no privacy problem, just limit the set of people you interact with to those you told about the experment ahead of time. -- Mark Biggar markb@agora.rain.com
