  Simulacron-3 Information
The novel greatly influenced 1999's The Matrix and 2004's Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, and was even filmed twice itself: first in 1973 by Rainer Werner Fassbinder as a two-part television play under the name Welt am Draht (World on a Wire), and in 1999 by Josef Rusnak as The Thirteenth Floor.
The term "simulacron" is given to the simulator just built.
"Simulectronics" is that world's technology which simulates reality, and "Simulacron 3" is the title of the book because there are three levels of 'reality' in the novel (or three levels of computer simulation, since the reader may surmise that the 'final' world may be simulated, also).

It would be vastly more effective to burn the organic matter than to power a conventional electrical generator.
On Earth, there are, ultimately, only three energy sources: the light coming in from the Sun (stated as blocked out in the movie), the heat coming out of the Earth's mass, and the heat coming from the dissipation of the tidal movements of the oceans and crust.
The first is generated by nuclear fusion in the Sun's core, the second by the radio-active decay of some constituents of the Earth's mass, and the third comes from the Earth's kinetic energy of rotation.

Basically, the answer is no. If god A has five followers and god B has three but one of the followers of god A leaves A and goes to B, then A looses as many eps as he had gained.

But that is because in Simulacron I 1000eps is quite a large number of eps.

Egypt because of the violent content and because it put into question issues about human creation "linked to the three monotheistic religions that we respect and which we believe in".
Thus, as Ken summarizes a more integral interpretation (that takes into account what is revealed in all three films), Zion represents body (filmed in blue tint), the Matrix represents mind (green tint), and the machines—this is the kicker revealed in part 3—represent spirit (golden tint).
For those of you keeping track, this is indeed quite similar to the Great Nest of Being as taught by the world's wisdom traditions, a spectrum of being and consciousness reaching from body to mind to spirit.
