If I am a BiV, there must be some very confused scientists on why my simulation has been so stagnant for so long. And likely wondering why (unrelated to this thought experiment) I focus on the idea of being a BiV cyborg.

I think symbiosis would be the way to go when it comes to homeostasis, especially with more integration when it comes to control and management (like how modern life doesn't really foster healthy microbiomes). Also symbiosis with more than just bacteria would be interesting, opening up new possibilities if possible. Though of course I am thinking mobile or semi-mobile existence, not just in a simulation.
