Porkies? Hm. I'm guessing from the context that the word "porkies" means "lies". That's an interesting choice. I wonder: why not "dogies", or why not "horsies"? Well, the choice was probably made so long ago that we cannot now interview the people who made that choice in order to understand their reason. Or is the reason already well known in Shetland? However that might be, Ghostrider alluded to an interesting aspect of the situation of being in a VR, to wit: are all actions always premeditated by the originator of a particular VR in the layers of VRs? Some of our VRs, for instance Dungeons and Dragons, use a pseudo random number generator instead of (or in addition to premeditation) to determine the outcome of a particular situation. So it it seems at least possible that a similar arrangement might be in operation in this seeming VR, yes?

Thanks for the video. The artist seemed to try to change perspective, and I believe that the artist suceeded somewhat. But toward the end, one of the characters (Satan?) said that there was nothing but empty space. In the case of the primary originator, there would probably be no environment, not even empty space. This would probably be the case because space is quantized along with time, mass and energy. So space is probably as much an aspect of the primary VR as time, mass, and energy seem to be. Given that this were to be the case, then the perspective of the primary originator is probably even more different than portrayed in the video, yes?

Thanks for constructing the chain of logic shown above, and in the rest of your post. For the benefit of discussion of that chain of logic, let us suppose that there are at least two sorts of originators. One possible sort would be an originator who originated a virtual reality (VR) in which characters in the VR could possibly originate additional VRs within that VR, and so on and so forth. Another possible sort of originator would be the one just mentioned, ie, a character in a VR who makes an additional VR within that VR. For the sake of clarity, we could label the first sort "primary" and the second sort "secondary". The perspective of either sort would likely be different than ours. It would seem to follow that the objectives of either sort would therefore be different than ours. It might therefore be possible that their methods of achieving their goals might be different than ours. Given these possibilities, it would seem to follow that we should therefore endeavor to find any such messages, despite the valid-to-us chain of logic which you expounded, yes?

Ha! Thanks for the chuckle. Asute question. You are merely the second ever to ask that question. No, not on a scale of 1 to 10. The 5th in a particular series of heretics. As to which series, a scan (not a skim, a scan)of my website will show the answer to you. My website is listed in my profile. Why don't I mention the URL here? If people have to exert some effort, most will eliminate themselves before they even start. Good luck.

Ah yes, reality. Well, the fact that space, time, mass and energy are quantized suggests that this is a virtual reality which is being displayed in a monitor which has less than infinite resolution and less than infinite repetition rate. None of the virtual realities, of which we are aware, is self-originating. If this is a virtual reality, and it too is not self-originating, then there is an originator of this virtual reality. If there is an originator of this virtual reality, then it might have provided a message to us. So it seems that it might be beneficial to us to look for such a message, yes?
