It must be noted, however, that this analysis is irrelevant to the simulation argument. As will be explained later, only capacities of the base civilisation are significant. If we assume that we might live in a computer simulation, only the capacities of the parent civilisations are important, but there is no way to determine them. | It must be noted, however, that this analysis is irrelevant to the simulation argument.

In the main section (The Core of the Simulation Argument), Bostrom suggests a formula for calculating the probability for a random person to live in a simulation. He concludes that at least one of the following propositions must be true | In the main section (The Core of the Simulation Argument), Bostrom suggests a formula for calculating the probability for a random person to live in a simulation.

Because of the logical and mathematical errors made in the derivation, the formulas are incorrect, thus making a strict interpretation impossible. Bostrom gives his detailed interpretation of these formulas in the corresponding section (Interpretation).</ref>:* Share of civilisations that reach posthuman stage is close to zero. | ||
