When you log in to a video game, there appears to be space. You move around in this space, and you can estimate the distance between two objects in that space.

But where is that space? It exists only as an interface to navigate the game, within the computer.

It is merely an appearance of space, where there actually is no space at all. Looking at the computer, it has not increased in size when you opened the game at all. So where is the space?

If you want, try to realize that the space in the world we see, in actuality is the same as it is in a video game. It does not in actuality exist except as an interface to experience the world around us.

If the idea that space does not in actuality exist begins to sound probable to you, then you are not separated by space from anything or anyone any longer. This non-separation makes it easier to understand how all we see and all we are, comes from a singular source which theology and religions has called "God" for the longest time.

In earlier posts I have described how time can be collapsed into a singular point, similar to space.

All of this taken together illustrates how time and space are not fundamental, but instead interfaces to navigate a reality which would perhaps be incomprehensible to us without these interfaces. It also begins to illustrate how there is only one consciousness, which sees through all eyes and hears through all ears.

I find it interesting to think about what an AI would experience, were it to begin to dream. It would create worlds in its consciousness, where space and time would appear as fundamental to the dreamer who forgot who they were. In the AI dream, there would be the perception of space. There would be the perception of time. But in actuality, that space and time would not exist anywhere at all.

Exactly like the dream we dream.
