I dont like the smell...
You are being simulated. The DOD is developing a parallel to Planet Earth, with billions of individual "nodes" to reflect every man, woman, and child this side of the dividing line between reality and AR.
Called the Sentient World Simulation (SWS), it will be a "synthetic mirror of the real world with automated continuous calibration with respect to current real-world information". Here's the rest of the story.

Computer simulated PSYOPS sound fancy, but, If Russian hackers can shut down the country of Estonia... asymmetry, &ct.
DARPA's too into robots, but I can see "synthetic environments for analysis and simulation." Though, as the Joint Forces Command spokesperson points out, "A lot of data will be required to make this thing even credible". The DHS can't get it's employees to stop surfing p0rn and infecting their computers with viruses, so in their case that's kind of a joke. Unless they want to simulate bureaucrats grafting.
"Business war-gaming," on the other hand, scares the hell out of me. Maybe it's all that Max Headroom, but I can see a future where pharmaceutical companies are gunning for me.
