Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman proposes that physical reality is merely a user interface, similar to a video game, where our consciousness operates within survival-based constraints; just as an avatar allows interaction within a digital world without being the player behind the screen, human perception may be a simplified interface that hides the deeper 'source code' of reality existing outside our daily experience.

Is reality just a simulation? Rethink your existence.Added:
You are outside the game altogether.
You're sitting somewhere with a Coca-Cola or something like that playing the game. But the avatar in the game is not you. It looks like you and if you get immersed in the game then you can identify with the avatar temporarily.
So, you do want to learn how to play the game well to be if you want to be an expert in the game, but you can also step back and say there's a world entirely outside the game.
And in the in the metaphor I'm pushing here is it's not only possible to say that, it's possible to actually look at the code. There is software outside of the virtual reality game.
