Okay so a photo of something and like concept art are both just pixels on the screen, right? So what is it about reality that needs to be simulated, since theoretically I could make photos pixel-by-pixel of shit that never happened?
reeee why can't anyone answer this question

Yes. Theoretically you could. But it would take great effort and most likely would need software that would do it for you.
Counter entropy.

Right, but what I'm asking what arrangement of pixels or whatever is responsible for something looking real?
Reality is just a "pixel-by-pixel" construct, anyway. At every finite point in space a string is either vibrating or it isn't; either it's "on" or it's "off". Ones and zeros.

Whichever one that fools your brain into thinking that looks real. There could be an infinite amount of arangments. There is no one "code" or " equation" that makes it so.
