And what is the game's world, do you think? If it's not "real", if it's not a "simulation" either, then what is it? What are you even trying to do here? xD

You've got the HUD, to which you happily assign the code's rules, because it's otherwise inexplicable, but happily put everything else under this universe's logic. And then I'm the mad one.

All I see is a universe that's acting like a game. Not because of that fact that it's a game, but because of this being the canon.

All Toby did, was that he made the standard gaming tropes canon. But the question is, in what way? Are they explicitly a new thing, or should we simply interpret them differently so that they merge with the standard universal rules seamlessly?

It's either that, or that. There's no third category. You guys are just making up things due to your own confusion.

See, this is not about parallel universes or anything. Yes, there's an infinite variation among those, but that's not what this is all about. This is about the interpretation of Toby Fox merging the game with the game's interface, for which, there are only two options to choose from.

That's all there is to it, really.
