Universal Simulation

[Ostronomos]

There is apparently no distinction between physical matter and information at the most basic level of reality (time processes information), of which reality consists primarily of information and cognition or the union by the process of collective consciousness. The universe is running a simulation of it's own contents, think Matrices within Matrices. Reality evolves through time or syntax the way a language would, where the general elements contain the specific. I think of the Spirit of God as a common language collective or whole consciousness which processes and configures itself automatically takes place through all spatial dimensions from 1 to 10, with the ligament of time totaling 11. While nothing is unreal, nothing can be said to be real. Thus we eliminate the untruth of an "external reality" acting outside the mind. Where the universe can be thought of as the mind of God, nothing is not existing on it's own outside the universe. Nothing is defined as unbound telesis or UBT acting freely of information onstraint.

The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe(CTMU):


Chris Langan, the world record holder for highest IQ, developed a theory of reality called the CTMU. In essence, the CTMU aims to describe the logical structures of reality in a way that is comprehensive and complete. His theory of reality links three distinct fields: The Mind(Cognitive), Math and Science(Theoretic), and Reality(of the Universe).



While information is central to IIT, the CTMU ups the ante with infocognition, a dual-aspect substance formulated to solve the mind-body problem posed by Descartes. The deeper we explore layers of reality(atoms, particles, strings, ?, ???) we realize that information, a 0 or 1 indicating existence or not-existence underlies all matter. However, since it is perceivable it is also cognitive. Therefore all matter is ultimately a substance that is equal parts information and mind, or infocognition. This substance is necessary to develop a physical theory of consciousness. Infocognition is the common substance between mind and matter that will unify the previous theories.



Langan defines reality by stating: "The real universe contains all and only that which is real. The reality concept is analytically self-contained; if there were something outside reality that were real enough to affect or influence reality, it would be inside reality, and this contradiction invalidates any supposition of an external reality (up to observational or theoretical relevance)." Therefore because reality possesses a self, a sense of awareness, and is composed of infocognition, reality can be recognized as one cosmic mind.



This is further proven by IIT, because reality is unified and connected to a degree unfathomably larger and more complex than a single human mind. In fact, the CTMU reasons that the universe is omniscient or perfectly aware of its contents. We can therefore recognize ourselves existing in several minds simultaneously: Our familiar mind(cogito ergo sum, IIT, Strange Loops), the mind of the human collective(TaaS), and the mind of the cosmos(CTMU); all have their unique realness and all are necessary for describing the various aspects of consciousness. It is not a matter of saying "This is me and the others are not me or illusionary" but understanding the triality of your existence on an individual, collective, and cosmic level.


TL;DR: The true origin of consciousness emerges from the awareness of the universe itself. Infocognition is the substance that our brain-minds are made of. IIT describes the structure of a mind, TaaS describes the collective mind, and the CTMU describes the cosmic mind that all we all live in.

Trying to get a few things straight, hope you don't mind

While nothing is unreal, nothing can be said to be real.

IOW's there is a nothing and it exists somewhere.

nothing is not existing on it's own outside the universe

Probably language but: Either the existing nothing is on its own inside the universe or is outside the universe with company?....... I think we need universe defined here.

Correct. Nothing exists while not existing. Hence allowing for freedom from physical informational constraint. Reality is generated by an omniscient mind requiring it's own existence by negation or self-selection from nothing. This is why I say that reality and mind are ultimately indistinguishable. the very latent powers of mind manipulation on reality are inherent in human beings.

Actually, Vos Savant's IQ was done during childhood so it is higher than the actual value.

I think nothing(ness) is just as, if not more than, an interesting concept than time. Would time exist in your nothing world and if so then would it be considered an informational constraint?

Time could not possibly exist in nothingness.

It's a loop. All to be more specific a spiral.

Consider the bounds to what the universe was born into was/is actually something that is created at a future point where we are both technologically and mentally capable of understanding not just how to make the universe, but why a particular way. Think of it like the elusive Singularity that Transhumanist's seek, however rather than it just being something in a "not too distant future", it's actually part of the very root of our past.

I mention initially that it's a loop, however the reason to be more specific with it being a spiral is that we as humans have a concept of what we see as freewill. We would undoubtedly become dismayed if we saw ourselves heading into a loop where we constantly repeat the same things over and over again ad-infinitum (Like the proverbial snake eating it's own tail). Instead we would want to make incremental changes with each iteration to make sure that no universe was identical through us attempting to have the Freedoms that we so desire. (The only concern we would have is if we ended up with a pendulating infinite loop between two universal states, so while it appears like we have freedom, we actually move back and forth between each state.)

I speculated these points in regards to Simulation Theory.

It actually suggests that the "Big Bang" was actually two-fold:
First a Benchmark where the bounds for each composite simulation model attempts to reach it's maximum threshold [An upper bound]. Each bound is part of infinite self-replication fractal (super-symmetry?) that carries over that event to each replicated volume which in turn is the bounds of the known universe. What exists beyond that is a "Null" devoid of anything and therefore empty enough to support being populated by something.

This would then be followed by the prototyping phase that would of literally collided energy from each volume (bound) to create prototype matter in a similar fashion to Conways Game of Life. You can learn a lot from a Slider.

Time could not possibly exist in nothingness.

Is not time a measure of existence?

Yes. That is why nothing is timeless.
