But, such a stimulated universe would be observed by its residents to have very odd behaviours caused by such hacks.

Like a maximum speed limit, minimum temperature, an uncertainty principle, and so-forth ;)

Are those even hacks, though? They seem more like just how it is.

Are these limits necessary? Maybe these limits are just part of the nature of how matter functions, rather than being mere hacks.

We understand so damn little of this physical universe that we are in no position to say much, if anything, about it's true nature and origins.
