The simulation will simply take longer to get to the next state. We wouldn't be able to tell.

Heck, we might have crashed the simulation multiple times already with crazy experiments and they had to load a backup.

We've been crashing this shit since 2012 and the results have been... interesting so far.

You're assuming RAM is the limitation, with disk swapping. What if we run out of disk space?

Then you start using floppy disks to write all the extraneous data! And swap in the relevant disk when needed!
