Great hypothesis and presentation! I think this model would get us closer to the truth, whether or not it’s true.

This is a very well made presentation, thank you for sharing!

I had never thought about this possibly before. It seems quite reasonable

[S.G.Wallner]

I'm still thinking it out, but there seems to be a connection to the "coding problems, " of modern neuroscience. The problems brought along with conceptualizations of information and conscious experiences continue to puzzle me.

Q-Space has an interesting relationship with William Tillers ideas of Science and Human Transformation.

It's kinda quaint and all, but this sort of speculative sci looks more like metaphysics (woo). I kinda admire romanticist notions like this or panpsychism, but the unvarnished truth takes consciousness down from a pedestal of self, and leaves phenomenological experience in its place.

That's because consciousness is just a specialized sense organ that arbitrates entropy. Evolutionarily speaking, what what could it be?

The Blue Pearl is a synaesthesic meditative state where the qualia space of consciousness itself can be sensually "felt" as *touch* as well as *light* (blue). Right in between the ears where typically a life happens. Swamis consider this holy.

But having felt it myself, hell marvelled at it & fretted over it, in retrospect, just a specialized sense organ.

One that *experiences* experiences. So it's innately "meta." And therein a sense of extra dimensionality.
