The 2 and 3 D objects we see in the screen are not "really real objects", but in a pool simulation, for instance, it is as impossible to make a ball go through another as it is in Reality to... (what can be really impossible?). Even when those balls are not real, it is their interaction, the interaction of the lumps of information what makes them act according to what we expect of "real" balls; without being real they will bounce and change trajectories, and the more _information_ is in the simulation the more 'real' they will look and act. They cannot help but bouncing as much as "real" balls will bounce since it is in the instructions of that particular program. This instructions are the equivalent to Nature Laws, as unchangeable as a compiled program's instructions, though "at the beginning" several sets of rules can be chosen, where the beginning would be the "origin" of the Universe. What matters here is that there are no balls in there, only information interacting with information according to fixed rules which an observer outside the simulation can study and given some form (mathematical language, for instance, or graphics), even if the actual implementation of the rules is totally unknown...
