I think the big problem for P2P, however, is entanglement. Arvan suggests this occurs due to issues with the simulation, but would we really expect that kind of glitch?
But in general I do agree Arvan's ideas work in a functional sense, in that this lower frame of reality is formed from a higher frame and is a "simulation" in that sense. Borges suggested we ourselves created this universe but left some "cracks" as reminders of who we really are - quantum mechanics feels like one of those cracks...
We should consider the high probability that the creators of the simulation are not omniscient and omnipotent - even they can make mistakes. And any complex engineering design inevitably has to entail multiple complex tradeoffs between different conflicting requirements and available solutions. Or it could simply be their playfulness or whimsy or appreciation for paradox at the expense of the users or participators.
There being all these possibilities that could explain any conceivable apparent "glitch" seems to me to be the reason why the P2P virtual world simulation theory appears to be unfalsifiable.
