Sounds close to some good old fashioned simulacra-

Simulacra are copies that depict things that either had no original, or that no longer have an original. Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time.

Utterly confusing book, French 60's postmodern philosophy, but came to my mind on your observation.
