So, I see the whole universe as a function. Its input is its own prior state, its output is its own next state. It cycles in Planck time.

Its logic is described by math implemented in physics, which in turn decomposes into biology and cognition and even, sometimes, software.

But there's really just the one big function. An infinite relation between everything and everything else, over time, forever.

This is kinda my religious belief, I guess? It compels no particular behavior.

Now isn't that beautiful! 😍 https://a.weirder.earth/media/ecWR35Lg1zh5Un7LS-w

@mykola I see belief as the ultimate Gestalt. This fathomless Mystery made up of infinite fragments and which human belief is incapable of ever grasping consciously (our unconscious does better). But we can catch glimpses of it in each other if we allow that aspect of us to show... if that makes sense to you. https://a.weirder.earth/media/bWo9oRZyKy-fGy_gvlg
@wildwalkerwoman Yeah, I think it's hubris to think we can understand our reality - so our best bet is to paint a pretty picture and understand that it's just a model, but that it's ours.
