The hologram creates a mirrored universe where Mach said none could exist

Evidence

If, according to Mach, the universe is that of which there is no double, no equivalent in the mirror, then with the hologram we are already virtually in another universe: which is nothing but the mirrored equivalent of this one. But which universe is this one? — Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation, 355
