## Definition
Nick Bostrom is a philosopher known for work on anthropic reasoning, existential risk, superintelligence and the simulation argument.
## Corpus Context
[[articles/Beyond the Sea|Beyond the Sea]] uses Bostrom's simulation paper as a formal philosophical branch, not as proof that our world is simulated. The argument's conditional trilemma should remain distinct from cinematic evidence.
## Key Insight
**This node connects its historical or conceptual subject to the corpus without treating analogy as proof of direct influence.**
