對於我們所認知的這個世界，是否如一般人們感知到的真實存在，抑或僅存在於模擬程式下的虛擬世界。自古以來，一直都是哲學家與科學家們，不斷反覆研究與論證的議題，至今仍無定論。即便多數人們都安於現況的生活，但人類對於追求自己的起源，以及存在的目的，從未停止思考和探尋。
雖然我們仍不清楚宇宙的起源和人類存在的目的，對於當下生活中的自我認知，卻深深地影響每個人對於現世的「幸福感」和「成功感」。我們追求成功的最終目的，無非是感知到快樂，咸認努力是這兩者之間的橋樑和方法。但努力的過程，種種因素卻又容易讓人們對自我的認同產生變異，而忘卻原本的初衷-亦即追尋自身的快樂。
快樂似乎很容易，卻總在不經意之間讓我們感覺難如登天，所以人類繼續因循自訂的社會生存法則，告訴自己必須透過更多的努力，獲得成功、取得快樂。因為它們對於當下的我們如此重要，但彼此之間的關係卻交疊複雜之因果。
基於我們認同這世界是真實存在的基礎下，關於成功與快樂，過去一直都是熱門的論文議題，而關於運氣與努力，也總不乏相關的研究調查。但關於運氣與努力、成功與快樂、真實與虛擬三者之間的關係，卻鮮少串聯這些概念的討論或研究。因此，本研究以自行設計之問卷，透過調查與統計的實證研究，探討現今人們對於運氣與努力、成功與快樂、真實與虛擬的觀念，以進一步確認這三者之關連性，最後回到當今商業虛實整合平台參與的可能性。此假設已成立的整合性平台旨在收集數據，讓AI統計演算各式命理的準確性，若能證實人類出生的數字已注定未來的一切，或許將是一條證實這世界是否為虛擬的捷徑。

The question of whether the world we perceive is truly real or merely a simulated virtual reality has been a topic of ongoing debate among philosophers and scientists, with no definitive conclusion. Despite most people being content with their current lives, the quest for understanding our origins and purpose persists.
Although the origins of the universe and the purpose of human existence remain unclear, our self-perception profoundly influences our sense of happiness and success. The ultimate goal of pursuing success is to achieve happiness, with effort seen as the bridge between the two. However, the process of striving can often lead to a shift in self-identity, causing one to forget the original pursuit of happiness.
Happiness, though seemingly simple, often feels elusive, prompting adherence to societal norms that equate more effort with success and happiness. Given the importance of these concepts, this study uses a self-designed questionnaire to empirically investigate contemporary views on luck, effort, success, happiness, reality, and virtuality. The study aims to confirm the interconnections among these concepts and explores the potential of a commercial platform that integrates virtual and real elements. This platform will collect data to allow AI to statistically evaluate the accuracy of various fortune-telling methods, potentially providing a shortcut to verifying whether our world is virtual.
