What IS base reality

>>8396605
I mean, I guess in the context you heard it, "base reality" means a reality which is not a simulation of something else. For instance, and I hate to keep going back to these movies, in the Matrix, the world ruled by machines it the "base reality" and the Matrix is a simulation of it with different parameters (namely it's not run by robots).

What do you mean by possible origins? Like where does the term "base reality" come from? It's literally just the combination of the words "base" and "reality," where base means something like "root" or "main" or "supporting structure". And reality means whatever you'd like it to.

If you mean, "assuming this world is not base reality, where did the actual base reality come from?" then there is no possible way to answer this question scientifically, as we have no way currently of collecting data from the "base reality" that we know of.

Yes I am implying that we can accurately determine, sometime in the future (soon) that we exist in a simulation.
What does that imply about the characteristics of so called base reality? What could it possible be

>>8396605
it's icosahedra

>>8396626
Well, I mean you're kind of already limiting what it could be by calling it a "simulation," right? A simulation implies that it's made by something, some kind of sentient being, and that the simulation is a reflection of whatever it's simulating. So it could be something as trivial as the exact universe as ours fast forwarded a few billion years with a society capable of making such a simulation.

I think you're going to be a little disappointed by this conversation haha.

A shape?

What are we now? Just a sphere?

This might be as close as you can get to understanding

I actually have this book. Haven't read it though.

As i get it, base reality is a single thought, which determines existence as such.

Not really like "and then there was earthe and thou did see earthe was dank."
But rather something like "big thingys attract small thingys in circular motion"

>>8396881
What is the mechanism that thinks?

>>8396881
this anon gets it

It's... alive!
It's ALIVE!!

I think the closest thing we have to understanding what lied belong all this is pi, and additionally, sine and tangent waves.

There are plenty of irrational numbers out there, but pi Is the only one which I think we will never be able to attain the true value of.

It is the thought itself which creates all existing systems.
If the word "thought" perplexes you, think of it as a "process".
I am however pretty sure that at the base of reality lies something which is mindboggingly trivial.
