SimulationScore began as a simple question:

Why do some unlikely events feel meaningful, while others disappear unnoticed?

Humans are exceptionally good at finding patterns. This ability helps us survive, learn, and anticipate the world — but it also leads us to over-interpret coincidence, especially when events feel personally relevant or occur close together in time.

SimulationScore exists to explore that tension.

Not to provide answers about reality, fate, or meaning — but to examine how probability, attention, and narrative interact when people encounter events that feel “too unlikely to ignore.”

SimulationScore is an experiment in perception.

It provides a structured way to:

• Record unusual or coincidental events
• View them in context rather than isolation
• Compare intuition with known properties of randomness and clustering

The score reflects perceived improbability, not objective truth.

It is a lens — not a conclusion.

SimulationScore does not claim that:

• Reality is a simulation
• Events carry hidden intent or messages
• Individual outcomes reveal anything about the nature of the universe

It does not predict the future, assign meaning, or offer guidance.

Any interpretation remains the responsibility of the observer.

In large datasets, rare events are inevitable.

What feels extraordinary in isolation often becomes ordinary at scale.

However, when events are tracked over time, something interesting happens:

• Patterns appear
• Attention shifts
• Perceived rarity changes

Studying how that happens — rather than what it means — is the core motivation behind this project.

SimulationScore draws inspiration from:

• Probability theory
• Cognitive science
• Philosophy of mind
• Discussions surrounding the simulation hypothesis

It deliberately avoids certainty.

Scientific understanding advances by resisting premature conclusions.

Philosophical inquiry advances by asking better questions, not by closing them.

This project aims to stay aligned with both.

SimulationScore is supported through optional Research Access and carefully selected affiliate links to relevant books and resources.

Research Access enables:

• Multiple submissions for longitudinal observation
• Exploration of patterns across time rather than single moments
• Continued development of the project

Affiliate links are included only where they directly support deeper understanding of the ideas explored on the site.

SimulationScore was built out of curiosity, not conviction.

I was interested in the gap between how strange the world sometimes feels and how probability explains it — and in what happens when people are given tools to examine that gap carefully.

If this project encourages reflection, skepticism, or deeper reading rather than belief, it is doing its job.

Not every coincidence is meaningful.

Not every pattern is real.

But the way humans respond to perceived patterns is always worth studying.
