How to spawn in and out of a simulation?
I told Tanny and Haruka on call about how the sign language appeared whilst I was doing the Ash Walk during the Butoh class. What happened was when I was doing the ash walk and going through the door of the conscious to subconscious world my hands started to guide the way. The rest of my body followed. It was like it was speaking in sign language to the rest of my body.
I also spoke to them about how it made me realise more about the touch technology that Yaxu has in their fingertips.
Yaxu has this touch technology that is stored in their fingertips. Each finger (including the thumb) has memories stored in them. The memories are not an experience that is activated in the mind as something blurry, faint and fleeting, instead it feels more like a dream but more vivid and materialized.
It is some kind of memory simulation that Yaxu spawns into when the memory technology is activated and it is activated when their finger touches someone else’s fingers who they feel a connection to.
The time of the memory simulation feel like a dream sometimes shorter and sometimes longer. Then once the memory is over, the dream memory, they spawn out and appear back in their base body. For Yaxu it is the one above.
This memory simulation is a different space and time (past) and on top of this they occupy another consciousness that was a past life but a past life as a different species.
This created a lot of dilemmas in my mind particularly around the technological mechanics of spawning in and out of the touch technology. As Tanny reworded it to me as ‘it’s how you enter and exit the memory using this technology which is the dilemma’.
How do you enter and exit that technology? What is that process? Can you just spawn into a simulation with no side effects?
For Yaxu’s case they enter simulations as a different consciousness from a different species. So do you simply portal from one consciousness and space and time to a different consciousness and space and time?
Does the consciousness before you stay alive or does it die whilst you are in the memory simulation?
Surely the mechanics of this is incredibly complex to be able to go into a simulation of a memory from a different species. But at the same time it’s incredibly spiritual. And like the ash walk (Butoh) where to go through the door from your consciousness mind to your subconscious, you have to turn your body into ash to get there. You have to go through the process of taking off your mind projection till you are just pure consciousness and then you have to rebirth and put on the mind projection of another species to perceive the way another species does.
When I am thinking about simulations and how we enter and exit them, to me it connects to birth, life and death and how that cycle works, rebirth. In the future we have no idea what the possibilities are. We have no idea how to create a simulation of another space and time. The closest thing we have is the ability to control an avatar in a virtual world with a body and a screen and one consciousness role-playing ‘another consciousness’. This pipeline is pretty basic. I would even consider it a bit stupid.
I like the idea that you have to go through some kind of rebirth when you use this touch technology to enter a memory simulation. And that to create this technology you need to really understand the mechanics of rebirth. I also think the process of going in the memory simulation is far more real and powerful technology than our fleeting memories and even our dreams. The mechanics probably derived from the memory tool and dream tool inside our operating system but its far far more powerful now. This would have serious effects on the post-human beings that have this touch technology. It could be very dangerous, incredibly emotional and real, that you would need a powerful mind to be able to use this technology without an overload of distress and confusion.
I like the idea that for each being that helps activate this simulation of a memory of a past life can only activate up to 10 past life memory simulations. It represents this feeling of impermanence. That no matter how connected you are to someone else that the cycle will take over or you just have to find each other again in another lifetime to be able to access to connect with these past lives memories. Maybe even this memory technology enables Yaxu and Anamtuul to realise that they knew each other before.
I think the pipeline for simulations and occupying different consciousness in the future could be far more cosmic. I realised that the closest thing we have to this technology right now is the womb. So maybe, how this touch technology was developed combining the mechanics of memories, dreams and the womb together.
