Assuming our simulation is not designed to auto-scale (and our Admins don’t know how to download more RAM), what kind of side effects could we see in the world if the underlying system hosting our simulation began running out of resources?

    That would only be a problem if you need dynamically allocated memory. It could be a statically allocated simulation where every atom is accounted for.

      Given the whole “information can neither be created nor destroyed” aspect of atomic physics, taken literally, this theory checks out.
