A creator stood beside an apprentice manipulating a simulation to ensure its 'universe was whole' — meaning that everything was logically in place to prevent a collapse.

  "Teacher, I'm finding irrational anomalies in the logical flow of a planet's evolution."

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  "Which ones?"

  "For instance, Teacher, Santa Claus, and Christmas. Upon further investigation, I see an entire history of a phenomenon called religion. Full of beliefs beyond logic."

  "Yes, those simulacums exist in a juxtaposition of fantasy and reality. They'll quickly adapt once their technology reaches the Singularity. Accepting their true nature is the next logical step in their pursuit of unreality."
