Even if there is no reality outside memory, there still is a simulation. We could not have created such a complex world buy pure imagination. The simulation might be just as complex as the reality itself. So, it would be just a game of words to distinguish between them.

Why would there be a simulation? Do you call all perceptions simulations?

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps it was meant to say "stimulation" otherwise we're just talking about another layer of separation from reality.
