That's not what they mean by Anoikis being artificial.
It's artificial in the sense that it is a bunch of very real cosmological objects that have been artificially 'constructed' and placed. It is not a virtual reality within a virtual reality.

Jam those ones first, and kill them last.GÇ¥

"[Anoikis] is itself only a component in the grand design that the Talocan made real" "They altered the very fabric of space-time" Then again, where is the line between artificial and virtual? A virtual world is by definition artificial.
No, you don't understand.
Altering the very fabric of space-time =/= created a virtual reality.
The reality in Anoikis is very real. You don't 'download' into it like the matrix, you literally go there, your whole body and ship actually goes there. By 'artificial' they mean that things like planets and suns and stuff were all either created there by artificial means instead of natural ones, or moved there away from their natural point of origin. Bodies like planets are placed into orbits of stars, and the moons are placed into the orbits of their planets ARTIFICIALLY instead of as the result of natural star formation. But if you land on a planet there, it will be rock, not pixels, at your feet. Very real rock.
A virtual world is, indeed, artificial by definition. But it's not the only kind of artificial world that can exist. Anyone that's played Halo or understands the lore behind the Corellia system in Star Wars knows this.
