Claim One:
1. A machine implemented method of simulating, comprising: performing a continuous distributed simulation of a space using a plurality of computing devices connected to a network, each computing device of the plurality of computing devices simulates a different region of the space, performing the continuous distributed simulation includes reporting about the simulation to a user computer device; determining whether an item has changed; if the item has changed, determining whether a particular change for the item would be perceptible on the user computing device based on one or more properties of the item in the space and a physical property of a user interface on the user computing device; transmitting data about the change to the user computing device if it was determined that the particular change would be perceptible on the user computing device and not transmitting the data about the change to the user computing device if it was determined that the particular change would be not be perceptible on the user computing device, wherein the physical property of the user interface on the user computing device is display resolution.
