"The HUD is not compatible with the overworld. That's what I'm trying to resolve here."

Quantum physics is not compatible with gravity.

"By changing the HUD so that it makes sense per the overworld's rules (e.g. continuity not breaking). Another way to do this however is to strive for the opposite, that the overworld is just as limited by the game as the HUD is. So for example, Frisk cannot jump down from a bridge not because they don't want to, but because they literally cannot, as the game prohibits such move. Or the game putting glass tiles below sprites that do go out of bounds."

Objects are never supposed to go out of bounds in gameplay. Therefore, we consider that as a bug, and not canon. Oh, and did you notice that many of these ledges have border areas? ..What if they actually had a height to them, and acted as walls?

Also, the fact that you can't walk off cliffs isn't mentioned within the game. Therefore, it can be disregarded, and said to be that Frisk isn't stupid enough to commit suicide like that. (It literally goes against the trait of determination-The will to live.) But, once again, Sans DOES mention the HUD, so we can't disregard that through the same reasoning.

"In short, a world where everything and everyone is taken as a solid unit that cannot be divided (a sprite), there are events that can or don't have to happen (flags), and it's all controlled by some code. The game does showcase this, so it may as well be true, right?"

In short, a world where everything is taken as a solid unit that cannot be divided (elementary particles), there are events that can or don't have to happen (conditions), and it's all controlled by some code. (The formulas that make up the laws of physics.) The world does showcase this, so it may as well be true, right?

"That's a condition, yes. But tell me, where did the energy to summon and sustain the HUD come from?"

Okay, quarks bonding together to form protons and neutrons is a conditions, yes. But tell me, where did the bonds come from? Why do they now act as one particle? And why is it specificially the number of protons that determines an element? How does observation collapse a wave function? And, one of the more famous questions:What caused the Big Bang?

Code can answer these questions easily.

[Initailizing…]

Let's just say that there is a table of elements-And the number of protons is simply the variable that determines the case, with the electrons also being used to determine several properties.

...Also, I wonder how the electron shells work. Why is it that every even period adds a new electron shell, always just after the first shell, and using a very specific formula? (Every new shell has exactly 4 more slots than the one before it) Wouldn't it make more sense for the second shell to be added at period 3? And why every 2 periods in the first place?

I'm not asking why the scientists say it's added at 2. They say it's added at 2 because it IS added at 2. They've discovered that for themselves as they formed the periodic table. It's a fundamental question of the UNIVERSE. Why does the UNIVERSE make it that way?

"Why did it appear only on those occassions, and how? Real world does have answers to these, it knows what fueled the fire, why and also how the fire appeared. For the HUD, it's just one condition. Yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0. A boolean datatype."

Just about every event can be broken down to a series of bits. In the case of fire, it's the result of the chemical process of combustion, which CAN be broken down into code.
