Danny meets with David— his former employee—a tech genius who presents a tech-style answer to Galatea’s appearances. Inexplicably, and when Danny writes about his character he is writing a pseudo-computer code. Worse yet, in his zealousness and effort, he has created a “feedback” loop, affecting both of them: They are each evolving as Danny continues to write fiction and thus “codes” both of their existences, experiences and perhaps their destinies, too. David further speculates that this implies that they all exist—persons and characters alike—in a simulation that they each build shape and design.
