I mean obviously you can test the limits and capabilities of the holodeck programming itself (the dream environment), and that in itself is super cool! But I don't think that having a cool cheat code allows you to go beyond the programmed 'game environment'. Just my personal thoughts on it
I see what you mean. I guess when my lucidity is more consistent I will explore this and come back to it... Thank you though.
