Without knowing the "higher" reality, I'd still call it a simulation. An emulator is capable of replacing the "real" system it's emulating. Maybe that's your view on the topic, but I find it more likely the higher reality is more complex than ours because it contains ours. Therefore our reality could not be an emulation. Lots of speculation though.
