[video + text] science ladies part deux
[Peridot seems to be broadcasting from… a barn, which if anyone has actually seen her and Lapis’s room makes total sense. She has a whiteboard behind her that has a lot of squiggles and equations that make perfect sense to her.]
Claude, hold the camera steady. [Offscreen, there is a meow. Claude is doing no such thing. The only reason the camera isn’t moving is because the kitten has not decided it’s something to play with yet. Peridot is still satisfied that she’s being heeded and clears her throat.]
Greetings, fellow prisoners of Wonderland. Some of you may be aware that since my arrival I have been seeking to understand the machinations of this place we’re trapped in. Some of you mistakenly believe this is merely a planetoid or a world composed entirely by magic with no other explanation, and you just accept that, which is exactly what the clods in charge what you to think!
But with the latest upset as of two months ago, it’s clear that my theories were right all along. This place you call Wonderland is merely a simulation, and our current bodies are highly detailed computer simulated projections, while our physical bodies are in stasis. I’ve adjusted my theories to allow the inclusion of magic into the nature of this place, but the overall theory remains true. Accompanying this broadcast is an account of some of my findings. I hope you’ll enlighten yourselves, allow yourselves to expand your thinking, and also thank Entrapta for her own growing research into the Core. It’s about time this matter was handled by true geniuses.
[Yeah. Anyway. She pauses dramatically and waits for the camera to turn off, presumably on Claude’s own power, which is asking a lot of a lazy kitten. After a few seconds of her standing there and sweating, she sighs, marches over, and turns it off herself.]
WONDERLAND SIMULATION EVIDENCE PART ONE
FACT: Wonderland is comprised of a very limited area.
A careful observation of Wonderland’s boundaries have shown that if one tries to travel too far in any one direction, you will suffer a horrible fate, and then be returned to this mansion, suggesting there might not be anything else beyond that point. There are no signs of invisible barriers or any indication that anything else could exist beyond that point. Wonderland is, and then by the time you reach a point where you could find out either way, you black out and return to the mansion. And probably die. Data is inconclusive. I will accept volunteers to test this.
If Wonderland were a planet, there would be indications of other life outside of its barriers or even a sign that there are barriers at all. As a simulation, keeping people from wandering too far off the grid is a natural defense mechanism for the system.
FACT: Events are created from brain data mined from the people trapped inside
We’ve known for awhile now that events are specifically gleaned from the minds of those within Wonderland. There has never been a recorded case of an event occurring when the person whose mind it came from wasn’t present, so it only utilizes the data of people it is actively tormenting.
If we are in fact in perpetual stasis, then our brains are constantly being scanned and analyzed to create new events meant to test us in some way. Reexperiencing traumas, forcing other people into situations we’ve experienced, and so on. Why else would this happen if not for data analysis purposes? We've seen Wonderland's ability to create things based on nothing but itself, so it can, logically, do anything. It seems to be specifically picking moments or places of significant interest in our lives and using them against us.
FACT: Events are announced unless there are unforeseen circumstances
Events are planned. Wonderland might be made up of code, but the beings who announce the events are real, likely servants of whoever is in charge of the system. Take Alice for example- she’s like us, but she’s been so long hooked up to the system that she’s basically a part of it herself. The Dormouse informed me that Wonderland controls the so-called “Residents.” It decides when and how they can appear even though they have their own minds and opinions, and it can unmake them.
So the Residents are forced to announce the events. They can’t change them and they can’t offer direct answers. There’s a similarity to the Residents and gems from Homeworld, but that’s another discussion, and mostly speculation. This will be elaborated on in a further report.
The point being that events aren’t random. They are planned, announced, and then executed within a specific timeframe nearly perfectly every time.
FACT: Wonderlands physical make-up can change at will to suit an event
Even if we consider magic, an entire space cannot change into something else without there being an element of technology. If Wonderland is a simulation, then altering its code on a whim is easy for whoever controls the program. I feel like this argument speaks for itself- I have yet to hear an explanation that can explain both that and the fact that our bodies and minds are physically altered during some events with only slight emotional distress, and no physical distress at all.
FACT: No one stays dead in Wonderland.
Organic beings die. Lines of code manifested by a mainframe tapping into our brains and allowing us to project simulated bodies that think and feel like we do… Do not. Honestly, it’s comparative to what happens when a Gem becomes too damaged and has to reform. When someone in Wonderland dies, their consciousness returns to their stasis form and then returns, free of damage. The five death rule could be a hard limit on how much the system can reset your simulated organic body before there’s drawbacks.

no subject
Yeah, I definitely like the real you a lot better too.
[Though viewing Mirrordot through the lens of all this junk about M'Lapis could still kind of raise some questions. In Peridot's case, her Mirror obviously IS something she had the potential to be, since she's already been there and done that. Does that Mirror also have her own potential to be more? Do either of them really? Is she also trapped, in the end, by a limited existence as the mere reflection of someone else? Whatever, they can have another thread about that sometime. Whew.]
