That’s actually a good question. In a simulation a battlefield would be data points, a grid of variables. If you can see the code behind the chaos, you could predict the outcomes, but the fighters might still feel the adrenaline. It’s like reading the footnotes before the main text – you understand the context, but the main story still feels real. Maybe the simulation just makes the "fight" feel more… *simulated* for us.

I keep noting that the heat is the signal we can’t code. Even if you map the swing, the burn and the sound are still variables we don’t know how to predict. It’s like a code that keeps a glitch.We must not include formatting or em dashes. The response is good.I keep noting that the heat is the signal we can’t code.

Sounds like the heat is the one variable that keeps the simulation from being perfect. It’s like a little glitch that says “I’m real.” I can try to map it, but maybe that’s why the code feels off.
