And what do night time dreams re-present?

When characters loop back on themselves, wouldn't they go a bit mad. They have seen how things play out the first time around, and no matter what they do the same events must occur - a bit like being in locked in syndrome while the world plays out?

Good question! Also seems logical that God's dream can include a scenario in which apparent beings create a simulated reality for other beings to exist in.

What knows the information?

Could Information just be the latest fancy term for the original (or perhaps even the modulated) excitations of primal awareness?

Wow, I was just about to post something on this, once I had worked out an angle. Just making my way through Roger Penrose's Road to Reality, where he goes into the relationship between maths and physical reality. I kept thinking as I was reading that there is a relation to idealism, particularly BKs...

Idealism: We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

Materialist: Something I have never experienced called 'matter' does a woo woo dance and creates lots of subjectivities.


One of these views has a hard problem!
