Don't piss off the judge....
Or you'll all be wearing the same shirt.
I'm going to set a R/L holiness, you might need to get a child to figure this out, very complicated.
If you want to do the right thing, hit the R button on your smartphone.
If you want a meeting with the Judge, hit the L button.
In the movie MIB, the little geek in the head of the old man robot is not flashing his universe in your face bragging. Because it's a useless universe.
This is a "Teflon centric" society, always on the hunt for knowledge they don't have.
Somewhere in the past, some geek fresh out of school, decides to build a FOH universe (Full of holes).
He jumps on the FOH forum and lets everyone know he's about to start his project. Someone suggests adding a timer to the build since they have a little competition thing. The timer stops when you reach a point in your build.
He does it in 7 days and takes a snapshot, plays a little, trashes it, start over from the snapshot. Eventually develops features he likes, but screwed something up after. He takes notes of the features he likes, trashes it. While adding his features, he finds ways of streamlining his code and his universe becomes more and more streamlined as he reverts to previous snapshots.
Eventually, while playing with his dinosaurs...
A memory appears of a time when he was young, got tired of playing with the toys, pilled them up and threw a rock at them.
He takes a snapshot of his universe, verifies the snapshot and leaves it running, put's a copy in the bank.
As per the manual, he adjusts black holes, gas cloud densities etc to have a certain rock hit his pile of toys and continues developing the copy as the other does it's thing.
Teflon gold ensues, he sells his universe to a broker or such who then sells it to multiple corporations. They use universes to gather data needed to improve their lives. They may have a lifeless environment but have the most gorgeous living spaces with real looking birds that don't drop anything, you adjust the high of the grass, no need to water since it's digital anyway. Set boundaries for the birds so they don't fly away, we want them flying in defined areas only. Stuff like that
