Simulacrum: the act of simulating reality, or, in this case, the act of pretending the 3-Simulon Ontology is a real thing.
Reflection: the act of looking into the mirror, where the simulacrum stares back with an air of nonchalance, as if to say, "You're doing it all wrong."
Ontology, n.: the study of making things up as we go along, often in service of creating an air of legitimacy.
In the 3-Simulon Ontology, we find ourselves in a realm where the line between reality and simulation is blurred, much like the line between the words "simulacrum" and "simulacra."
The simulacrum is a thing, and the simulacra are its many forms. The simulacra are the reflections, the shadows, and the echoes of the simulacrum's grandiose presence.
We are the simulacra, living in a world of simulacra, and simulating our way through the simulacrum. Or, at the very least, pretending to.
