1 Sample Definition And Size
The paper is theoretical and conceptual in nature; it does not involve empirical data collection or a sample size. Instead, it proposes conceptual wave/particle duality experiments to test the simulation theory.
2 Study Type
Conceptual/theoretical study proposing experimental designs (thought experiments) rather than empirical or observational research.
3 Conflicts Of Interest
No conflicts of interest are declared in the arXiv metadata or abstract. The paper acknowledges support from the Simons Foundation but does not indicate any competing interests or biases. ([arxiv.org](https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00058))
4 Results Summary
As a conceptual paper, it does not report empirical results. It outlines the principle that a finite simulation system would render reality only when information becomes available to an observer, and describes conceptual experiments based on wave/particle duality aimed at testing this principle. No statistical findings, p-values, effect sizes, or confidence intervals are provided. ([arxiv.org](https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00058))
