Simulation Hypothesis and the “Butterfly Dream” of Zhuang Zhou (Zhuangzi) Master from The Hundred Schools of Thought.
Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things.
-As translated by Lin Yutang

Simulation as Māyā or magic or illusion from the Sanskrit: माया

Māyā as in: The world is not what it seems.. to say that the universe is an illusion (māyā) is not to say that it is unreal; it is to say, instead, that it is not what it seems to be, that it is something constantly being made. Māyā not only deception of people and the things they think they know; more fundamentally, it is a reflection of the limits of our knowledge.

We are binary after all is said and done. 

That will be the echo we leave behind in the void of space and time for others to search for in the heavens.
