To address some stuff I didn't see in the anon's reply, things like Irregulars, the rules, and the four endings exist as a result of extensive biological engineering, not computer programming. It's described in the Nemesis novel how they created the "new" Earth and it's people genetically from the ground up, which is how they designed their civilization to run through a condensed version of Earth's history. The endings were probably loose predictions of what would occur in the thousand+ year span (it's not like the endings we got in Heavenly were precisely the "ends" that Hansel was talking about in his song anyway.)

Magic, too, was created genetically--the fact that the Second Period had actual bona fide magic wasn't just because it was a simulation (like, presumably the Second Period simulation was given all the same physical boundaries as the First Period) it was because the AI in the simulation were so smart that they created it themselves (like how they created actual vampires for some ungodly reason.) So once they were brought into the real world it wouldn't be that hard for them to replicate what they did with actual physical matter.

But ultimately yeah the fact that Allen actually shoots this theory down in the book is probably why no one else is making it.
