We’ve never been in a better place to get a handle on this stuff. The growth of science fiction and technology in general seems to have given a real boost to the sophistication of our imaginative powers.

We can now easily picture a massive procedurally generated computer world. The game ‘No Man Sky’ for instance, consists of a universe of 18.4 quintillion planets and to ‘visit’ each of those planets in the game would take 584 million (real) years if you could manage to visit one planet every single second.

This is a mind bogglingly vast ‘space’ and yet when we ask, ‘where does this space exist?’ we must answer “No-where!”. Our monitor is a window onto that world. Does that world become less real when the monitor is switched off?

A world is real to its inhabitants and observers of that world; As our world is real to us. Without observers the seemingly vast expanse of space shrinks to nothing but ‘language’ and rules. ‘In the beginning was the word’… and all that.

Vast worlds of complexity, built on the computers duality of Ones and Zeros. Our ‘real world’ though, seems to be built on ‘trinities’ as you allude to in your write up. Gurdjeff said that ‘we are third-force blind’; Two forces seem to be opposites, but the third is much more difficult to see.

Have you read ‘My Big Toe’ by Tom Campbell? I enjoyed it. Definitely would recommend for a different viewpoint on this sort of topic.
