Does the virtual hellworld go through the same progressive economic stages as the meatworld? E-feudalism, e-capitalism, e-socialism, e-communism? Virtual slave revolts and virtual Pinkermen and virtual war crimes? Will there be an e-Zuckerberg to make a Meta-Meta, where the cycle repeats?

Isn't this akin to the extension to the simulation theory that says not only could be living in a simulation, we could be living several layers deep into multiple nested simulations? As in, ultra advanced race develops technology to simulate a universe. Simulated universe eventually develops enough to make their own simulated universe, rinse and repeat until you get to our universe.
