The Procedural Game: Ontology of the Real-Time Universe
The Procedural Game is a radical exploration into the nature of consciousness through the lens of video game architecture.
In this model, the universe is not a static archive of pre-determined events, but a process akin to a procedural generation engine. The future is not a destination waiting to be discovered, but an experience being rendered by the dynamic interaction between the rules of the code, the constraints of the avatar, and the choices of the player.
Excerpt:
If time and space are the lens through which consciousness views itself, then an object only possesses spatial properties like location, shape, and color when it is being viewed through that lens. To ask what the bedroom looks like when no one is looking is like asking what a dream looks like when no one is dreaming.
