The title is a touch for ‘matrix’ (a simulation). This suggests that the given hints are a matrix multiplication.
Performing the matrix multiplication with the crammed cells as 1 and empty as 0 provides this outcome for the primary set:
0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0
Which exhibits an ‘R’. Repeating this course of for the opposite matrix multiplications provides the trace ‘Rivendell’, a metropolis in Lord of the Rings (which once more is hinted by the title).
The grasp of Rivendell is Elrond. The corresponding actor, and remaining reply to the puzzle, is Hugo Weaving.
(credit to cap for fixing this final bit).
OP Edit:
Moreover, Hugo Weaving performed Agent Smith within the Matrix, wherein he multiplied like a pc virus. Thus we use matrix multiplication!
