Quantum mechanics says that the particle is there. It is "rendered" all the time. It is the quantum state of that particle which cannot be determined until it is "executed", not its existence.
Your hypothesis has no basis from a quantum mechanical standpoint.

I am arguing the point that the OP's incorrect interpretation of quantum mechanics cannot be used to support his hypothesis because it is incorrect.
Personally...I'm not a computer simulation and neither is the universe.

The Schrodinger cat experiment was meant to show the impossibility of Quantum Physics, in that current paradigm.

Phage uses it as some sort of proof for something but all it is is an admission of "we don't get QP at all", and besides that, it is flawed because it relies on the idea that there is a cat to be dead or alive at all when we aren't able to see it.
There are no two states, there is just one state being rendered when we watch. I have very similar thoughts to the OP.
Physical reality does seem to be rendered from subatomic particles based on what we know about them.
