Change replicated to represented or modeled, and it's a true and useful observation. Maybe the author believes "replicated," or maybe he just didn't find the right word that day.

In any case, if I change that word as I read it, it becomes a useful observation to me. Just because I'm reading an authors words doesn't mean I have to accept those words as-is. I just got a useful thought out of an incorrect statement. :)

Ah words. That might be the wrong one indeed. I guess I always assume the benevolence of the reader while I'm writing. But precision is important.

What I meant was that in that virtual world they can be replicated. So the replications would be virtual themselves. I better make that clearer.
