Mandela effect & Déjà vu: Are we living in a simulated reality?

If reality is being augmented as a simulation; then from the modern norm of physics, it is possible that everywhere around us, including us and what
we perceive is a simulation simulated by a super powerful computer from a farfetched future times, taken the Einstein’an notion, that, past, present
and future occur simultaneously. It is quite probable between two consecutive amplitudes that, the simulation can either be done by the super-
civilization in ≥ Kardashev 3.0 scale or by some higher order entities existing in a dimensional domain beyond our perceiveness and notion of our
understanding. To agree to the fact of the simulation hypothesis, there exists a mathematical foundation of the desired logic behind this simulation,
which will be investigated throughout this paper whose another consequence might be the déjà vu or the Mandela effect. The errors arise in this
simulation is a form of glitch in the matrix that should happen because of the commutable lagging of the super-intelligent computers of either future
ones or higher-order ones. Preciseness about the calculations of dimensions opened a way for + = 2 + 10 where the non-locality of the time
being perceived as a 2-dimensional entity opens up the door for further investigations. The more will be discussed in detail in this paper.
