Model for Reality

What Do I Mean by Model for Reality?

My model for reality originated from the time I heard that you cannot unify quantum mechanics and general relativity.

For those that don’t know quantum mechanics governs the behavior of particles at very small scales, using probabilities and uncertainty. General relativity on the other hand describes the fabric of spacetime and gravity at large scales, using smooth continuous geometry.

Unfortunately, when you try to apply both at once, for example near black hole singularities or the big bang, our current math breaks down due to infinites or incompatibilities in the formalisms.

When I first heard this, I wondered if someone from the outside with a unique perspective of the world could unify them with a few bold claims. I felt that the world works somehow, and if our current understanding can’t explain it then there might be something obvious missing. I’m not so arrogant to assume that I could solve everything. Rather, I thought it would be interesting to provide a new approach.

Leading attempts at unification are things like String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, Asymptotic Safety, or Causal Set Theory. On this page is a fun thought experiment that uses how I see the world and applies it to our physical reality to see if it stands up.

Foundational Assumption

The universe is a machine whose purpose is to generate and explore all possible experiences. This includes every type of consciousness, perception, sensory modality, and experiential path. This assumption includes everything from the mundane to the transcendent across all beings and systems.

Immediate Ontological Implications

Primacy of Experience

Reality is structured around experience, not matter or energy per se. Consciousness (or proto-consciousness) is likely fundamental, not emergent. The closest existing theory around this is called panpsychism.

Diversity of Forms

In order to fulfill this "goal" of experiencing itself in every possible way the universe must produce an infinite or near-infinite diversity of forms (biological, energetic, abstract). By extension, there must exist sensory systems beyond human limits (e.g., ultraviolet vision, echolocation, quantum perception). Additionally there must exist varied timelines, logics, and perceptual structures not limited to “alien minds” that might experience things like time in reverse, or spatial emotions.

Self-Reflection

With this goal, some entities will emerge whose purpose is to reflect on the universe itself. To us these entities are known as philosophers, mystics, AI, etc. This self-reflexivity is a kind of cosmic feedback loop. It is experience observing experience.

Crucial Example:

Our vision. We see a narrow band of wavelength relative to the totality of the electromagnetic radiation. Just because we can’t see something does not mean it does not exist. I would take it a step further and say, “Just because we don’t yet have the technology to measure something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.” The point being, there are properties of the universe that may be around us all of the time, but due to our evolution to survive and reach the point we are at today, our bodies have not adapted to sense those properties. The most likely reason is that if we were able to see and feel everything all of the time it would distract from survival. We likely wouldn’t be able to carry on with life if we were able to experience everything all of time.

Structural and Physical Consequences of the Original Assumption

The Universe Must Encode All Possible States

The universe is a kind of Universal Turing Machine or experience generator. This concept would be most similar to Max Tegmark’s “Mathematical Universe,” The “Multiverse” hypothesis (where all possible outcomes are realized), Modal realism (all possible worlds are real) In a mathematical sense, this assumption leans toward structures that support combinatorial explosion, superposition, or parallelism.

Time and Causality Become Tools, Not Absolutes

If the goal is experiential totality, time may be just one dimension of organizing experience. Some beings might experience nonlinear or non-causal realities (like dreams or psychedelia). In this context, the universe must support branching histories or simultaneous outcomes, suggesting quantum mechanics-like behavior.

Consciousness is Embedded in the Universe's Fabric

Notably, this may mean that humans aren’t the only conscious agents. Additionally “conscious agents” might exist at multiple scales such as in the micro (electrons or atoms having proto-experiences), in the macro (galaxies or planetary biospheres as “meta-minds, or synthetic (AI systems or simulations capable of novel experiences) It is important to recognize that not all consciousness has to exactly reflect ours in order to be consciousness. In fact, that would be out of alignment with the purpose of the universe if the goal is to know itself from every possible type of experience.

Based on all of this, this is what you are about to learn:

  1. The purpose of the universe: Accumulating unique experience in order to know itself better.
  2. Zero and infinity are at the same physical space, the former acting as an empty set for the latter to portal through.
  3. The shape of the universe at the fourth dimension: A torus with inner radius 0
  4. The shape of the universe at the fifth dimension: A layered torus
  5. The shape of the universe at the sixth dimension: The world tree

POINT 1: The Purpose of the Universe

Mini-Dictionary: Greek Symbols in Context

Symbol Pronunciation Conceptual Meaning
𝔈 "Script E" or E-experience The universal set of all possible experiences (experiential manifold). Represents the continuous space where all experience exists.
μ mu ("mew") Modality: the type or sensory channel of experience (e.g., visual, tactile, conceptual).
ι iota ("eye-oh-tah") Intensity: how strongly a particular experience is perceived. A real-valued measure of “how much” experience occurs.
q q (not Greek) Quality: the specific character of an experience. May be encoded symbolically or vectorially.
v v (not Greek) Valence: the emotional or evaluative tone of the experience. Ranges from −1 (negative) to +1 (positive).
𝔄 "Script A" or A-awareness Global field of consciousness: a function assigning awareness density to experiences in 𝔈.
Pₐᵢ P-sub-a-i Projection operator: filters the global awareness 𝔄 into the subset experienced by an individual conscious agent.
𝒢 "Script G" Graph of experience: a dynamic structure representing the flow and evolution of experiences through time.
𝕍 "Blackboard V" The vertex set of Script G i.e., the set of all experiential nodes (same as 𝔈 in this model).
𝒬 "Script Q" Quality space: a symbolic, semantic, or topological space containing the qualities q.
𝐃ₐᵢ D-sub-a-i Directional flow operator: governs how the conscious timeline of an agent evolves over experiential states.
𝒰 "Script U" Novelty functional: evaluates the "creative differentiation" of a path through 𝔈 by maximizing novelty, diversity, and minimizing redundancy.

If you are viewing this on a desktop, you will be able to see both columns simultaneously. If you are on a phone it will be after this section. 

My goal here is to explain my thought process in simple language as I go over the model located to the right or under this section.

In this model, I first defined the space. In this context, space is the area in which all experience is taking place. Though I initially modelled experience as a tuple, I later realized that these characteristics limited the identification of unique experience.

I later realized we limit the essence of experience through labels and we would eventually need an infinite number of labels to reach the totality of experience. As a result, I later changed this to an integral which captures the totality of experience more completely.

In section 2, we denote the global consciousness that pays attention to each experience had. From point 0 to point 1 we have every experience that took place within this space (universe) from time=0 to time=infinity. This thought will become more important later on.

In section 3, I denote the agents that are projections of the universal consciousness. An example of this would be a human with its limited senses. It is a node of consciousness that feeds experience back to the totality.

In section 4, I denote the subjective flow of time. As we perceive it in one direction, other conscious beings may experience it faster, slower, in reverse, or if you are the totality all at once.

In section 5, I account for shared experiences and entangled experience.

In section 6, basically states that the universe will optimize for novelty to avoid redundancy.

The Structure of Conscious Experience: A Unified Topology

1. Define the Global Experience Space 𝔈

We define:

𝔈 = { e | e = (μ, ι, q, v) }

Where each experience e is a structured tuple:

  • μ: modality (e.g., visual, emotional, conceptual)
  • ι: intensity (real number, ι ∈ ℝ⁺)
  • q: quality (symbolic or vectorized)
  • v: valence, with v ∈ [−1, 1]

Each e belongs to an infinite-dimensional space: e ∈ 𝔈 ⊆ ℝⁿ × 𝒬, where 𝒬 captures symbolic/topological quality space.

2. Global Consciousness 𝔄

𝔄 : 𝔈 → [0,1]

𝔄(e) is a normalized awareness density: the “attention” allocated to a given experience.

∫_𝔈 𝔄(e) de = 1

This resembles a field of awareness or probability distribution over all possible experiences.

3. Local Conscious Agents

Each agent aᵢ is a projection of 𝔄:

Pₐᵢ : 𝔈 → 𝔈ₐᵢ, such that eₐᵢ = Pₐᵢ(e) with 𝔈ₐᵢ ⊂ 𝔈

This filters the global field of awareness into a localized "window" shaped by sensory limits, memory, and ego structure.

4. Time as Directional Experience

Each agent has a subjective flow of time:

Tₐᵢ = { δtᵏ } for k = 1 → ∞, with δtᵏ ∈ 𝕋ₐᵢ

A directional operator governs evolution:

𝐃ₐᵢ : 𝔈ₐᵢ → 𝔈ₐᵢ such that eₜ₊₁ = 𝐃ₐᵢ(eₜ)

This defines each agent’s timeline as a flow of experiential states.

5. Shared or Entangled Experience

Two agents aᵢ and aⱼ are entangled if:

∃ e ∈ 𝔈 such that Pₐᵢ(e) = Pₐⱼ(e)

This allows shared nodes of awareness — explaining empathy, resonance, or quantum-like interaction.

Define an entanglement relation ℛ ⊂ ℂ × ℂ:

(aᵢ, aⱼ) ∈ ℛ ⇔ μ(Pₐᵢ⁻¹(e) ∩ Pₐⱼ⁻¹(e)) > 0

6. Evolution via Experience Flow

Let 𝒢 = (𝕍, 𝔈) be a graph where:

  • 𝕍 = 𝔈 (nodes are experiences)
  • 𝔈 = edges (temporal or causal connections)

An agent’s path: γₐᵢ = { e₁, e₂, ... } ⊂ 𝔈ₐᵢ

Universe-wide path: Γ = ⋃ₐᵢ γₐᵢ

Define a novelty functional:

𝒰(Γ) = Coverage(𝔈, Γ) + Diversity(Γ) − Redundancy(Γ)

The system evolves to maximize 𝒰 — a drive toward novelty and differentiation.

Summary:

Concept Mathematical Structure
Experience e = (μ, ι, q, v) ∈ E
Global awareness A(e), a weighted awareness field
Local consciousness Projection Pₐᵢ : E → Eₐᵢ
Time Local sequences Tₐᵢ, operator 𝐃ₐᵢ
Entanglement Shared experience states via ℛ ⊂ ℂ × ℂ
Experience flow Graph 𝒢 = (𝕍, 𝔈), with paths γₐᵢ
Purpose Novelty functional 𝒰(Γ)

Can Aspects of This Be Tested?

Experiment 1: Time Perception as a Function of Experiential Novelty

Hypothesis

Subjective time expands or contracts based on the novelty of experience. The more novel the stimuli, the faster time seems to pass.

Method

  • Participants: 60 volunteers
  • Conditions:
    • High-novelty group: Multimodal, rapid stimuli (VR + sound + narrative)
    • Low-novelty group: Repetitive, minimal stimuli
  • Measures:
    • Subjective time estimation
    • EEG entropy or Lempel-Ziv complexity
    • Memory recall post-session

Expected Results

Underestimation of time in the high-novelty group, with higher EEG complexity and stronger novelty-path compression.

Theoretical Link

This tests the theory that subjective time derives from novelty gradients in experience, not external clocks.

Experiment 2: Entangled Awareness Without Classical Communication

Hypothesis

Emotionally synchronized agents may share awareness states through the global awareness field without direct communication.

Method

  • Participants: 20 matched pairs with emotional bonds
  • Protocol:
    1. Synchronized breathing/mindfulness (15 min)
    2. Isolation in shielded rooms (Faraday cages)
    3. Shared mental focus on a concept
  • Controls: Random pairs and unsynchronized pairs

Expected Results

Symbolic overlap in sketches or verbal descriptions in synchronized pairs; possible EEG coherence patterns.

Theoretical Link

Tests the concept of entangled awareness nodes with intersecting experience mappings in the field 𝔄.

Experiment 3: Quantum-Like Experience Path Interference

Hypothesis

Ambiguous stimuli may produce interference-like patterns in perception transitions, reflecting non-classical experiential path dynamics.

Method

  • Participants: 40 volunteers
  • Stimuli: Ambiguous images/sounds (e.g., Necker cube)
  • Tasks:
    • Track and report perceptual shifts
    • Log timing and order of states

Expected Results

Non-Poisson distributions and oscillatory transitions that resemble quantum-like interference across experience states.

Theoretical Link

Models consciousness as a quantum-like summation over experience paths: Ψ = ∑paths eiS(e)/ħ

POINT 2: Zero and Infinity Occupy The Same Space

The sections from one to five within this point are rather easy to understand . I would like to provide you with the basis from which I came to this conclusion.

The concept that zero and infinity occupy the same location in space came from the foundational concept that there is something instead of nothing.

My first hypothesis is that “nothing” does not exist. The justification for this is due to the totality of consciousness being omnipresent. With omnipresence you cannot have absence.

If “nothing” does not exist then the appearance of nothing would be the perfect place for something to appear. In this context, zero is the only spot on the number line in a physical sense that would capture absence. If this space is thought of as an empty set, it would be the perfect place to occupy.

My second hypothesis is that the mathematical concept of infinity fills this empty space, linking the two. My justification for this is black holes, a space where infinity and absence seem to meet. Black holes could be a three dimensional representation of this where as the big bang and the heat death of the universe is a four dimensional representation of this.

This would explain why the universe expands at an accelerating rate. It could be the universe “folding over” on itself to begin again. This would then explain how the universe learns from previous iterations of itself and experiences new things to know itself better.

This would be a perfect shape for an infinitely recurring universe. This concept can also be traced down to smaller scales. Meditation can be thought of the absence of thought, within that absence the universe fills its space.

This could be the explanation for elevated states of consciousness for those that practice meditation. We seek a zero point that allows infinity to flow through.

1. Conceptual Structure: Looping Universe Topology

Let’s define a space:

𝒰 = The universe of evolving experiences, matter, and time.

  • Not linear from 0 → ∞, but loops such that ∞ ≡ 0
  • Behaves like a circle (S¹) or torus (T²) with time or scale as the looping dimension
  • Parameter τ ∈ [0, 1]:
    • τ = 0 → origin (zero-point)
    • τ = 1 → return or completion
    • Topologically, τ = 0 ≡ τ = 1

2. Mathematical Definition: Toroidal Compactification

Define the topological space:

𝒯 = ℝ⁺ ∪ {∞} (positive real axis plus a point at infinity)

Construct the quotient space:

𝓛 = 𝒯 / ∼ where 0 ∼ ∞

This creates a compactified space — a loop with added "point at infinity".

Define a wrapping function:

f: [0, ∞) → S¹, such that:

f(t) = e^{2πi ⋅ φ(t)} with φ(t) = t / (1 + t)

  • t = 0 → φ = 0
  • t → ∞ → φ → 1

This maps the infinite real line onto a circle, making ∞ adjacent to 0.

3. Function Space Over the Loop

Define a function space over 𝓛:

𝔉 = { f : 𝓛 → ℰ }

Each f ∈ 𝔉 is a trajectory of matter, consciousness, or experience:

  • Domain: Looped topology of time-space
  • Codomain: Experience space ℰ

This space describes all possible evolutionary paths of conscious matter.

4. Differential Geometry and Metric Implications

If the loop is not flat (i.e. has dynamic curvature), define a metric g on 𝓛 such that:

  • Expansion accelerates with distance from τ = 0
  • As τ → 1, the metric curves back toward 0

This gives the loop a dynamic, evolving geometry beyond just topological identity.

5. Physical Implications

FeatureInterpretation
τ = 0Origin of spacetime, matter, awareness
τ → 1Cosmic saturation, heat death, return
τ = 1 ≡ 0Rebirth of information/experience
Looping growthExplains acceleration without “ripping” spacetime
Infinite pathsEach loop explores new permutations of the universe

Summary:

Expression Summary Table
Expression Pronounced As Meaning in Plain English
(aᵢ, aⱼ) ∈ ℛ ⟺ μ(Pₐᵢ⁻¹(e) ∩ Pₐⱼ⁻¹(e)) > 0 "a-i, a-j are in R if and only if mu of P-a-i inverse e intersect P-a-j inverse e is greater than zero" Two agents are entangled if they share access to a common global experience
ϕ(t) = t / (1 + t) "phi of t equals t over one plus t" Compresses time toward 1 as t → ∞, forming a closed loop
f(t) = e^{2πiϕ(t)} "f of t equals e to the 2 pi i phi of t" Wraps time around a circle, looped time geometry
𝔉 = { f : 𝓛 → ℝ } "F is the set of functions from L to E" All experience paths through the looped universe
𝓛 = ℝ⁺ ∪ {∞} / (0 ∼ ∞) "L equals the positive reals union infinity, with zero identified with infinity" Defines a looped space where the start and end are the same

POINT 3: The Shape of Our Universe at the 4th Dimension

The natural logical step after asserting that 0 and infinity occupy the same space in physical reality is to assume that infinite time and 0 time are at the same place.

When this is applied to the universe it gives rise to the shape of it. 

On the right we have the math but I would prefer to show you this visually. What you are about to see is a torus with inner radius 0. The surface is the time dimension.

To visualize this shape properly, imagine that the three dimensional space that we occupy is flattened into a surface. At origin point t=0 we have the big bang. The universe begins to expand outwardly through time.

 As the radius increases, attraction toward the point t=infinity increases thereby causing an acceleration of the expansion. When there is no matter at the origin point and all matter at infinite time, the attraction reaches infinity and occupies the empty space created by the “empty set” t=0 thereby birthing the next iteration of the universe.

Dynamical Laws Governing Experience Evolution

The evolution of experience through looped time is governed by a function space:

F = { f : L → E }
  • L: the looped spacetime topology
  • E: the experiential manifold (space of possible experiences)

We seek laws describing how f(τ) evolves over τ, the cyclic time parameter.

1. Gradient Ascent on a Utility Field

df/dτ = ∇ₑ 𝒰(f)

Pronounced: “The derivative of f with respect to τ equals the gradient of utility over the experience space.”

Meaning: Experiences evolve to maximize novelty and diversity. The utility function 𝒰(Γ) represents the universe's experiential optimization.

2. Lagrangian Dynamics

d/dτ (∂𝓛/∂ḟ) − ∂𝓛/∂f = 0

Here, 𝓛(f, ḟ, τ) is a Lagrangian over experiential paths.

Meaning: Experience paths extremize an action S, defined as:

S = ∫𝓛(f, ḟ, τ) dτ

This echoes principles from classical mechanics and quantum theory.

3. Path Integral Formulation

Ψ[f] = ∫𝒟f e^{iS[f]/ℏ}

Meaning: The universe considers all experiential paths and their interference determines which are most probable.

4. Field Equation Interpretation

□f + V′(f) = 0
  • □: the d'Alembertian wave operator
  • V′(f): the derivative of a potential governing experiential force

This is analogous to scalar field dynamics, but applied to awareness gradients or valence shifts.

5. Looping Boundary Conditions

Due to the topology of looped time L, the equations must satisfy:

f(0) = f(1) and df/dτ(0) = df/dτ(1)

This ensures periodicity and self-consistency, the universe “closes in on itself.”

Summary of Governing Laws for 𝓕

Formulation Equation Interpretation
Gradient flow df/dτ = ∇𝔈 𝒰(f) Experience moves toward novelty and integration
Lagrangian mechanics d/dτ (∂𝓛/∂ẋ) − ∂𝓛/∂f = 0 Experience evolves to minimize a deeper “action”
Path integral Ψ[f] = ∫𝒟f eiS[f]/ħ Experience is probabilistic, with all paths superposed
Field equation □f + V′(f) = 0 Experience is like a physical field in curved space-time

What Have We Addressed So Far?

Bridging Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity

Problem My Solution
Observer-dependence (QM) vs. global geometry (GR) Defined local consciousness as projection from a global field
Collapse problem in QM Reframed as a localized shift in experiential state
Time in QM (linear) vs. Time in GR (curved) Created a looped, agent-relative time model
Entanglement vs. locality Explained as overlapping projections in global awareness space 𝔈
Origin singularities Replaced with zero-infinity loop in a compactified topology

Breather...

Hurdles I Still Had to Overcome...

The Label Problem

Here we run into a fundamental issue of measurement. Thus far we have been measuring the “experience” the universe is optimizing for in semantic packets. As I am sure you are aware, experiencing something and describing it are not the same thing. For us to measure and communicate in natural language we must label all of the variables of experience, though this is impossible as experience is subjective to the node of consciousness perceiving the experience.

 Once we decide to “label” a metric as “this” or “that” another node could potentially map a different subjective experience as the same experience through labels. My theory is that the universe has a built in regulator for differentiating the essence of an experience without labels. In this method of looking at this theory our mapping of experience becomes more continuous and removes semantics from the equation. Verbal and written language have helped us share labels, but they fail to communicate the fluidity of continuous experience. So it seems the Semantic Embedding distance would have to be eliminated.

“Language limits the essence of our meaning”

How Do We Solve This?

Topological metrics

Experience is not measured in labels, but in how it changes continuously
Topology measures closeness without names, based on transformation paths
“How far is one experience from another?” → “How much must be altered to transition from one to the next?”
This is language-agnostic and node-invariant.

Wasserstein (Earth Mover’s) distance

Works on distributions rather than labels
Measures effort or energy cost to morph one experience into another
Preserves the fluidity of transition like how emotions or perceptions drift
This aligns well with an idea of an innate regulator that manages flow.

Information-theoretic metrics (e.g., KL divergence)

KL divergence doesn’t care what the labels are, just how different the informational structure is.
Can be defined between any two probability distributions, including:
Brain states
Patterns of attention
Quantum fields of awareness
This fits the semantic-free comparison of experience well.

Accounting for Free Will

My concept has to involve free will in a certain sense. Within the context of this theory, it would mean that each loop from the universes beginning to end would involve the infinite differentiating choices of the conscious observers of the universe itself. The only way I can think that this would apply to the universal regulator would be that the universe would “play” over and over considering the near infinite combinations of the choices that the nodes play and how those choices impact one another. This would perhaps result in a butterfly effect that considers all nodes for the life of the universe all at once.

It’s important to note that we are now operating outside of time, so the universe in this case in quasi-iterative in the sense that there are universes that grow from the previous experience but simultaneously exist as a continuous range of possibilities.

INTEGRATING FREE WILL: A FORMAL APPROACH

1. Universal Function Space

Define the total function space of experiences:

𝔽 = { f: ℒ → ℰ }

This represents all possible experience trajectories across cosmic loops.

2. Agent Influence Operator

For each conscious agent aᵢ, define:

𝒞ₐᵢ : ℰₐᵢ → Δf

  • ℰₐᵢ ⊂ ℰ is the agent’s local accessible experience space
  • Δf is the perturbation to the global trajectory f

This means each agent can slightly modify the path of universal experience, akin to redirecting light through a lens.

3. Causal Network of Choices

Define a directed graph:

𝒢 = (𝕍, 𝔈)

  • 𝕍: agents aᵢ
  • 𝔈: edges of influence (who affects whom)

This graph encodes the causal impact of one agent’s choices on others, a formal butterfly effect.

4. Loop Indexing

Define each universe iteration as:

Γₙ : ℒ → ℰ

  • n is the loop number (1st universe, 2nd, etc.)
  • Γₙ is defined by all agent choices 𝒞ₐᵢ across time

5. Regulator as the Orchestrator

The regulator ensures full coverage of experience space:

ℛ : {Γₙ} → Coverage(ℰ)

  • ℛ does not predetermine choices
  • It ensures all possibilities eventually emerge
  • It is nondeterministic, infinite in scope, but locally finite

This mechanism embeds free will within a cosmic combinatorial exploration.

BUTTERFLY EFFECT FORMALLY

Each agent perturbation δfₐᵢ modifies the future:

fₙₑₓₜ = f + ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ 𝒞ₐᵢ(eₐᵢ)

Thus,

Γₙ₊₁ = new loop with altered sum of agent-induced deltas

Because the universe is looped, even tiny experiential changes propagate nonlinearly, creating radically different futures across loops.

POINT 4: The Shape of The Universe at the 5th Dimension

What We Have So Far: A 4D Horn Torus Universe

Dimensions 1–3: Regular space (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧)

Examples: Shapes, mass, geometry, locality

Dimension 4: Time: 𝜏

Looped: from origin 0 to ∞, returning to 0

Governs evolution of experience within a given universe loop

Each function𝑓:𝜏→𝐸
f:τ→E describes one path of experiences

So now we ask: what “axis” organizes or contains all such loops?

Candidate 5th Dimensions

. Meta-Time (Loop Indexing Dimension)

Λ = The index space of all loops Γₙ

Each Γₙ : 𝓛 → ℰ is a full cycle of the universe.

  • Time (4th dimension) = change within a loop
  • Meta-time (5th dimension) = change across loops
This would make the fifth dimension a kind of “cosmic memory stack” holding the variations that arise across different loops of the universe, shaped by the choices made in each.

2. Choice-Space / Agency Dimension

Another possibility is that the fifth dimension encodes free will and branching potential of each conscious node.

  • Each point in this axis defines a unique configuration of all conscious choices.
  • Each trajectory Γₙ becomes a path through both time and this agency-space.
How did choices ripple out to shape the world? It’s a dimension of potential actualization.

3. Information Complexity or Novelty Gradient

Alternatively, the fifth dimension could be interpreted as information density or novelty:

  • Tracks the structural richness of each loop.
  • Early loops may be simple (few entangled agents), while later ones are more complex.
  • Think of it like entropy or information-theoretic curvature.
So each loop isn’t just “different," it becomes more capable of expressing experience.

The Fifth Dimension as Information-Self Integration

Let’s define the fifth dimension formally, in terms of what I've proposed:

Let ξₙ ∈ Ξ be the position in the fifth dimension corresponding to the nth universe loop Γₙ.

Then define a function:

𝓘(ξₙ) = Degree of self-integration at loop n

  • 𝓘 measures how much of 𝔈 has been coherently explored, reconciled, and understood by the total set of agents.
  • 𝓘 is an intrinsic measure of “cosmic awareness” or “collective memory.”

Thus, d𝓘/dξ > 0 implies:

The universe is moving up an information gradient, increasing its internal coherence and self-understanding as it evolves across loops.

This would mean it’s propagating directed informational ascent toward wholeness.

Penrose’s Cyclical Conformal Cosmology Each universe passes entropy/information forward
Hindu/Buddhist Cosmology Universe cycles to awaken to itself through incarnation

A Revised Function Over the Fifth Dimension

Let:

Γₙ: 𝓛 → 𝔈    (Experience path of the universe in loop n)

And define:

𝓘(Γₙ) = ∫_𝓛 𝒰(f(τ)) dτ

  • 𝒰: the universe’s utility function (novelty + diversity − redundancy)
  • f(τ): trajectory through experience space during loop n
The more an experience trajectory explores unique, valuable, interconnected experiences, the more it contributes to the cosmic learning process.

Interesting Implication:

“As Above, So Below”

The macrocosm (the universe evolving through cosmic loops to know itself) mirrors the microcosm (two conscious agents sharing perspectives to reach mutual understanding).

What About Gravity?

1. What Is Gravity in This Model?

In standard general relativity, gravity is not a force but the curvature of spacetime caused by mass-energy. But here, spacetime is emergent from experience so gravity becomes a function of how experience is shaped.

Gravity as “Curvature in the Flow of Experience”

  • Gravity is interpreted as a tension in the experiential manifold 𝔈.
  • Dense regions of unresolved or compressed experience act as experiential gravitational wells.

2. Is Gravity a Pull Toward the Empty Set and Infinity?

In a universe where 0 ∼ ∞, gravity pulls experience both:

  • Toward infinitesimal compression (a singularity)
  • And toward experiential saturation (infinite complexity)
Classical View My View
Black hole → singularity Black hole → convergence of experience to empty/full point
Gravity = warping of spacetime Gravity = curling of experience manifold toward info limits
Escape velocity = c No novelty escapes; experience collapses inward
Center = undefined singularity Center = loop point where ∞ ∼ 0

3. What Does This Mean for Time Near Gravity Wells?

General Relativity: Time slows as gravity increases, approaching infinite dilation at the event horizon.

My Model:

  • Time is the unfolding of experience.
  • Gravity bends and compresses that unfolding.
  • Near a black hole: novelty collapses inward, and time “slows” as fewer novel experiences are possible.
  • Eventually, time loops through ∞ back to 0 and begins anew on the other side.

4. What Is a Black Hole in This Theory?

Feature Physical View My View
Event horizon Boundary of no return Point where experience decouples from global flow
Singularity Infinite density Loop point: 𝔈 → ∅ → 𝔈′
Hawking radiation Information leaks out Echoes of experiential threads reentering 𝔄
Time stops (from outside) Asymptotic dilation Experience folds inward, pauses, then reemerges transformed

5. Implications for Cosmology

  • Gravity = contraction of the experiential field
  • Time dilation = compression of novelty
  • Big Bang and black holes = inverse loop events
  • Empty set = experiential zero-point regulator

So Blackholes are...?

1. Black Holes as Convergent Points in Experience Space

  • Near a black hole, spacetime curvature grows extreme.
  • In this theory: the number of potential distinct experiences a node could have becomes effectively infinite.
  • This makes it a region of maximal experiential density, an informational singularity.

️ 2. Time as Experience Flow

In this framework, time is defined as the capacity to differentiate experience:

d𝔈/dτ > 0 ⇒ experience is evolving ⇒ time is "moving"

  • As one approaches the event horizon, experiences become infinitely dense and entangled.
  • The resolution of those experiences slows due to systemic saturation.
From a conscious node's perspective, time slows to a halt because there is no more novelty to access.

This provides a first-person account of time dilation near a black hole.

How This Fits the Loop Model

  • If the event horizon is a limit of experience, then crossing it is not collapse, but transcendence.
  • In this looped topology:
    • ∞ of experience = 0 of new beginning
    • As f(τ) → ∞ in novelty, f(τ) → 0 in time
  • This results in a reentry into the empty set — the next loop begins.

Black holes are the universe’s exhale compressed experience returning to origin.

Key Equation

  • 𝒩(τ): novelty density (info per experiential step)
  • Tlocal(τ): subjective flow of time

Tlocal(τ) ∝ 1 / 𝒩(τ)

Time slows down inversely with the density of accessible novelty.

Consequences

Phenomenon Standard Physics My Theory
Time dilation Spacetime curves; time slows Experience density increases; novelty slows
Event horizon Point of no return Boundary of full experiential saturation
Singularity Undefined Loop closure ∞ ∼ 0, rebirth point
Hawking radiation Quantum emission Echoes of unresolved experiences seeping back into time

Final Interpretation

From the perspective of a conscious node, falling into a black hole is not an end, but an arrival at total experiential saturation.

Time and experience fold inward.

And the next expression of reality is born.

So What Does the 5th Dimension Look Like?

As we did with the 4 dimensional shape of the universe, we will need to flatten the shape again to visualize it within a 3 dimensional space.

As you can see in the video our 4 dimensional torus becomes flattened into a disc. Now we must layer these universes simultaneously on top of one another.

Remember the universe is quasi-iterative in this model meaning that though we experience linear time and in the future the universe will restart, from the universes perspective this happens in a place beyond our understanding of time. So as universes and variations are stacked, the universe begins to know itself better.

As you can see, once these universes are stacked onto one another, the universe grows in the 5th dimension. See how they are similar?

Each of these universes overlap with one another due to their similarity. But what happens when the universe grows to a place we cannot recognize because of how much more it knows itself.

POINT 5: The Shape of The Universe at the 6th Dimension

Enter the 6th dimension…

If we extrapolate this model out to infinity, then the universe will have learned so much about itself that there will be versions that don’t reflect the one we are currently in. The result will be a branching into new directions. Again this will all happen simultaneously in a radial patten. There are many ways that I could show you what I am describing but I feel the following is the most poetic. 

So what is the shape of the universe?

It is…
