While I can't say that this is true (because I'm not a scientist or god, thus have no real evidence to prove this to be fact or false) I would think that it's possible. If this was the matrix, or a 'Virtual Reality", I would prescribe out existence to this quote: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Magic, in this instance, not meaning anything exactly fantastical so much as uncertain and unexplored. I would rephrase it into "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from our perceived reality."

What we think to merely be our lives and what it's capable of could very well be limited or granted by the abilities of the grand computing system that we are unaware of but are under the control of. It's vast abilities showing it'd advance level of technology, yet it's unknown potential showing that there is always more to be improved. Though in this instance it can be compared to many ideals in which our existence could be the creation or under the control of, and that our lives, what we do, and what we think we can do is merely being given to us by someone behind a keyboard or whatever. It's vague message allows for equal or greater vague answers.
