Is God
a Programmer?

The Simulation Hypothesis posits that our reality may be an artificial construction—akin to a computer simulation. The Programmer God variant takes this further: rather than simulating an existing physical world, an external intelligence coded the universe from scratch, beginning with the Big Bang, operating at the deepest possible level—the Planck scale.

For such a deep-universe simulation to work without a physical base reality, the source code must satisfy three constraints:

1. Physical units (mass, space, time) must emerge from dimensionless mathematical structures within the simulation itself.
2. Dimensioned constants such as $G$, $h$, $c$, $e$ cannot be fundamental—they are emergent outputs, not inputs.
3. The model must be independent of any system of units (kg, m, s …) and any artificial numbering system.

This model—built around the mathematical electron—proposes that all of these constraints can be resolved using geometry alone. Remarkably, the entire model requires only one physical constant: the dimensionless fine-structure constant $\alpha$.
