I never gave much thought to Selforge's precise content, size and population. It's a highly adaptive place regularly and extensively reshaped to optimally accommodate its inhabitants, so no particular feature would likely remain for very long.

Same for the demography : cItizens are all complete immortals and their population is ever increasing through birth and joining, so Selforge City could have any number of them depending on the point in time.

Satellites are just secondary bubbles for activities and events requiring wide open spaces or relative isolation, and are ultimately just extensions of Selforge City partially separated out of simple convenience.

The Inner Planes were originally designed within the matrix and brought to real space via template materialization, complete with a perfect retroactive history making their true origin untraceable, a necessary condition to properly fulfill the role they were created for.

On the other hand, their inhabitants' mind is designed differently from natural humans, and while the Inner Planes are full of exciting conflict for citizens to enjoy, the pain and misery plaguing our real world is virtually absent from them. So no harm done, literally ^ ^

The matrix isn't actually a "master code", just a simulation based on the data collected, allowing the serene exploration of its possibilities before their live testing in Selforge Satellites, and later implementation in Selforge City and the Inner Planes.

Reincarnation within the matrix is limited to inhabitants of the Inner Planes (Selforge citizens don't die at all), precisely according to Lawrence's "no drama" policy mentioned above, thus ensuring a seamless contuinity between them in both directions.
