You seem to forget that we are discussing a natural occurrence, and not a computer program. And even still, your entire premise is contradictory to your thinking. The programming of a holographic simulation, just as a computer program, is hinged upon the essence of predetermination, which is inherently contradictory to the conceptualization that the universe is probabilistic at its core.
