As long as the changes were being made to our memories, it was plausible to argue that this was some sort of hypnosis, something done by Retrospec to our brains. However:

1) The experiment to disconnect from electronics that may be affected by Retrospec returned no results. We still felt the effects while disconnected.

2) This "shrinking" and the holes in reality cannot be explained by hypnosis. They are very real.

At what point do we begin to question the fabric of reality itself?

But if this is a computer system with us as aware AIs, wouldn't it be fair to assume that we also have a limited effect on our surroundings? The only fully stopping it would be that Jim character but even then he is limited as to how it works.

Why would you assume that? It depends entirely on the parameters of the program. Perhaps entities like us are designed to have no input whatsoever.

You have an open world system. There are certain parameters that cannot be crossed in that mod but given that an open world system is made to allow for variants to occur, there is a give to those set parameters. Now add in the factor that you have 'player characters' which by default are avatars created by an outside force to slot into the storyline set in that world.

It's not uncommon for a player to find and tweak coding to change parts of their avatars or even to give them experiences that echo or mimic their real life. Which makes some things about the hallucimemories a little scary.
