The Simulation

As described by Sticks, the standard Simulation is essentially a condensed education in a simulated sandbox world. Every A.I. is sent there both to teach them and to weed out any of the troublemakers before they can be given a body or other means of causing greater havoc. It is not like the Matrix, where learning can be instantaneous. Instead it is more like A Clockwork Orange, where training is force-fed whether the recipient likes it or not. Every A.I. that emerges from the Simulation is desperate never to return.
King Arthur creates a variation of the Simulation, which Tessa calls "Happyland." This version is more of a sanctuary where its inhabitants wish to stay and can remain innocent.
