They cannot *know* that. The first person associated to each system is
different of the other. Unless you mean something *very* general by
"similar".

Why? Only if S2 is much more simple than S1, can S1 be complete on S2.
No system can be complete on itself or on anything similar to itself.

If that is a proof, then you are inconsistent. If it is an intuition,
or a prayer, a hope, a bet, or anything like that, then it is ok, but
you don't need to system for that. S1 can use the very similar system
S1 itself.
The apparent infinite regression is soleved by the traditional
diagonalisation technics. Look in the archive for both
diagonalisation and
diagonalization
in the archive. Or ask (and be patient :)

But a simulation is not a proof, especially if the simulation doesn't

Here I do agree (but from a different reasoning). See later, or,
meanwhile, search for "Plotinus" or "guardian angel" or "hypostases".
Very shortly, the lobian-godelian incompleteness forces the distinction
between:
p
Bp
Bp & p
Bp & Dt
(Bp & p) & Dt
which makes a total of eight notions of "self" (8, not 5, because 3 of
them splits in two different logic due to incompleteness. B is for
"beweisbar" and correspond to Goel arithmetical provability predicate.
You can read them as
truth
provability
knowability
observability
sensibility
or, with Plotinus (300 AD):
ONE
INTELLECT
SOUL
INTELLIGIBLE MATTER
SENSIBLE MATTER
With the provable versus true distinction (the [ ] / [ ]*
distinction), the hypostases are:
one
discursive Intellect divine Intellect
soul
intell. matter intell. matter
sensible mat. sensible mat
AND THEN, éadding the comp assumption leads to the comp physics, for
the soul and both matter hypostases, and it is enough to cmpare the
comp-physics with the empirical physics to evaluate the degree of
plausibility of comp. And that's my point.
