• Can we record human experience?
    I am just trying to understand if I can possibly record what goes through within us at every moment. For instance, even when the culture is being passed on to subsequent generations through whatever medium, there's a unique individual recipient, who will understand, digest, and internalize whatever has been conveyed (meaning might be singular this way). In the culture project, we are recording the input of what has already happened in the larger society. I am trying to go a little deeper and broader, and understand if we can parameterize any input whatsoever (essentially, the lifetime) that a conscious being receives.
  • Consciousness, Time, and the Universe: An Interplay of Observation and Change
    Thanks for the feedback, and I agree with you. This was my first post here, and I couldn't contain my excitement to be discussing on all the topics, so I had put all of them to see how the discussion flows. Will develop each thought deeply.

    Also, on the entropy piece. I think that entropy is more fundamental than time itself, which is the reason why I used entropy to define time.

    In a universe where nothing ever changes, time has no meaning. Time emerges only when change or entropy is introduced.
  • The Real Tautology
    I agree. If you keep extending this theory and keep asking, "why this exists", you end up at, "the universe is nothing but a particle which got curious"
  • The Real Tautology
    Great example of the video game. Even the unseen territories of the video game are consistent with the seen territories and as a whole, because they were designed that way. It's only that we observed a part of it, which does not impact the creation. But, we derive our understandings only from the things we have observed or imagined. For example, anti-matter was always in existence, but we found it later. Before the discovery, all our theories did not account for anti-matter. After the discovery, some theories would still be consistent and some might be proven false which were yet considered to be true. (Everything is true until proven false).

    I like to think from the direction of nothingness. How can you arrive at the universe (or reality) as we know it today, from the state of nothingness. Everything makes a lot of sense with this POV.
