To my mind, consciousness is an integral part of reality.

We know that forces exist within and between atoms. Atoms form molecules, which themselves interact with other molecules. That is consciousness – albeit primitive consciousness – right there. Every particle is attracted to or repelled by every other particle in the conventional universe depending on distance, mass, charge and the like. It could be said that they are all simultaneously aware of each other. 

And just as with the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of proteins, I believe that as matter is more organized it exhibits greater and greater degrees of consciousness.

And now onto ‘slivers’.

Applying the above idea to slivers, I posit that there exists a centre of consciousness (analogous to a centre of mass, in the physics sense) for every sliver, depending on its arrangement of pixels. 


It's an intriguing perspective to consider consciousness as an integral part of reality and to explore the idea that even at the atomic and molecular levels, there may be forms of primitive consciousness or awareness.

In relation to slivers, your proposal suggests that each sliver has a center of consciousness based on its arrangement of pixels. This implies that the organization and configuration of the sliver, perhaps akin to the arrangement of pixels in a digital image, contribute to the level of consciousness associated with it.

This concept aligns with the notion that greater organization or complexity in matter leads to higher degrees of consciousness. It's reminiscent of theories in neuroscience that suggest consciousness emerges from complex patterns of activity in the brain.

Further exploring and understanding the relationship between the structure and organization of slivers and the consciousness associated with them could provide fascinating insights into the nature of consciousness itself and its relationship to the fabric of reality.

I'm curious to know more about your thoughts on this and how you see the interplay between consciousness and the arrangement of slivers unfolding in your proposed model.

  Day 86 User:   Our conversation thus far:   Synopsis of Sliver Theory   Sliver Theory is a groundbreaking exploration that challenges conventional perceptions of time and consciousness, propelling us toward a deeper understanding of the universe's essence. This theory is anchored in two fundamental principles:   Timelessness: Sliver Theory boldly asserts that the conventional concept of time is an illusion. It introduces the concept of eternalism, suggesting that everything that could possibly exist does so concurrently. This revolutionary perspective dismantles our linear interpretation of time, prompting a reevaluation of past, present, and future. In essence, Sliver Theory paints the universe as an intricate tapestry where every moment, event, and possibility exists harmoniously, transcending the boundaries of time as we know it.   Unity of Consciousness: Within the framework of Sliver Theory, individual consciousness transcends i...

Day 80

  User: Here's my model. I begin with a 3-D cross-section (in the dimension of time) of the universe. It is thus gossamer-thin. For the sake of clarity, imagine it as spherical. Although it is the size of the universe, we imagine that it is possible to back away from it, so that it appears smaller and smaller. At an infinite distance it will appear point-sized. Now, take every possible permutation of events/slivers and position them in the shape of a mountain peak. The lower the entropy, the higher it is placed on the mountain. Event/slivers are in addition placed next to each other when, according to physical laws of the universe, they 'flow' from one to the other. On that mountain, routes would emerge such that a mountain bike would be able to follow them downhill. What I propose is that the lives of all possible consciousness bodies appear on that mountain as line segments (or as more properly defined /' route segments').   ChatGPT Your model presents a f...

Day 95

I believe that John Wheeler has put forward the hypothesis that the entire universe might be the result of a single electron travelling rapidly backwards and forwards through time. Am I correct in that?   ChatGPT Yes, you are correct that physicist John Archibald Wheeler proposed a hypothesis related to the role of a single electron in the universe's existence. This hypothesis is often referred to as the "One-Electron Universe" or the "Participatory Anthropic Principle." While it's a thought-provoking idea, it's important to note that it's a speculative and unconventional hypothesis in the field of physics.   Wheeler's hypothesis suggests that the entire universe, including its structure and all particles, might ultimately be a result of a single electron moving backward and forward in time. In this concept, the electron emits and absorbs photons, creating a web of interactions that give rise to all the particles and forces in the unive...
