Simulating realities for beables and designoids


"Simulated universes might be one way the Self hides from Himself"

"it is humans that have developed the most sophisticated and flexible expression of code, allowing us not only to communicate information important to our survival, but also to encode and transmit our thoughts, our ideas, our experiences, our dreams."

"The brain generates a highly complex form of information that has the special property of subjectivity: you experience this information as your world, whether you are awake, dreaming, or at the peak of a DMT trip."



"Throughout your life, your brain may generate a number of different types of worlds: the normal waking consensus world of everyday life, the fluid and unpredictable worlds you explore whilst dreaming and, if you ingest certain drugs or plants, worlds altogether stranger than either of those. These worlds are unified by their fundamental nature as information generated by your brain, and information that can be recorded, stored, and re-played by XViS."

"your brain is capable of generating a practically infinite number of unified, information-rich worlds, each different from the last."



"No matter how complex the world, all of its information must be encoded by a pattern of activation of many different types of specialised neurons spread across functionally segregated areas of the cortex. These patterns of activation can be replicated and injected back into the brain anytime, so we have the possibility to recreate worlds with a high fidelity and play them on any brain."

"During dreaming, for example, the brain is perfectly capable of building a phenomenal world with all senses apparently intact, despite having almost no access to sensory information."



"when you descend into sleep at night, access to almost all extrinsic sensory information is removed and, yet, the brain continues to build complete phenomenal worlds as you dream. These dream worlds usually appear strikingly similar to the waking consensus world. In fact, the only difference between the waking world and the dream world, in terms of their construction, is that the waking world is modulated by extrinsic sensory information, whereas the dream world is not. Without access to sensory information, the thalamocortical system, using T-states from its repertoire, will construct the consensus world as a default. Sensory information constrains the construction of your phenomenal world, by selecting specific T-states from the repertoire, but the world is not built from sensory information. Whether you are awake, dreaming, or deep in the DMT worlds, your world is always built from intrinsic information."

"But dreaming or waking, building a phenomenal model of the world is a skill the human brain has developed over the course of its evolutionary history. Learning to build a stable and richly informative phenomenal reality within which you live out your entire life is the brain’s most remarkable achievement, understanding of which we can glean by thinking again about the purpose of the world built by your brain and the manner of its construction."



"Your brain knows how to build the consensus waking world and will tend to do so whether or not it has access to extrinsic sensory information."

"The worlds that appear when you dream are not mere suggestions or sketches of the waking phenomenal world, but mimic it in every way. The dream state, like the waking state, is characterised by synchronised gamma oscillations and the activation of sensory-specific areas of the cortex. Seeing a face in a dream activates the same areas of the cortex as seeing that face in waking life."

"When a psychedelic molecule enters the brain, the world appears to change and, indeed, it does change: the activation patterns of the T-columns have changed, and this means the information generated by the thalamocortical system - the information from which your world is built - has changed. Again, we return to the idea that your phenomenal world is built from information. Then this information changes, so does your world."
