The purpose of my entry was to examine how we might make the distinction between the two cases: 1.) is the reality we live in made for some other purpose, outside our frame of view, or 2.) is the reality we live in all that it is, without anything outside it.

Not sure if it makes any difference if they actually come from some world, or just a computer. Also you could argue that the world IS a kind of computer, and on the other hand a computer IS a kind of world for you if that's all you experience.
