Theorem: If each moment in life is retained perfectly in memory throughout life, then when life is over we will enter a time-space continuum.
1. Ben Franklin Proves Electricity Is Universal
1.1. What Was the Ben Franklin Kite Experiment?
On a warm, stormy afternoon in 1752, Benjamin Franklin stood in an open field with his son, William. They were alone but brimming with excitement. In Franklin's hand was a silk kite, attached to a simple metal key and a length of hemp string that extended down into his hand. This experiment, however dangerous, was one of his boldest ideas yet. Franklin had a hunch that lightning was simply a natural form of electricity - an idea that could change how people understood the forces of nature.
As thunderclouds rolled overhead, Franklin lifted the kite into the turbulent sky, and William watched with wide eyes. At first, nothing happened. They could hear only the hum of the wind and the rumble of thunder. But then, something miraculous occurred. As lightning flashed across the clouds, the key on the string began to spark. Franklin felt a faint jolt through his hand and knew he was right - lightning was indeed a form of electricity.
1.2. Why Was The Kite Experiment So Important?
Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment was groundbreaking because it provided direct evidence that lightning is another form of electricity. At the time, scientists suspected that lightning and electricity were related, but there was no conclusive proof.During the experiment, Franklin flew a kite with a metal key attached to the string during a thunderstorm. When lightning struck, he observed an electrical spark jump from the key to his hand. This experiment led to several major advances:
1. Proof of Electrical Nature of Lightning: By drawing an electric spark from the key, Franklin showed that lightning is indeed an electrical discharge. This connected natural phenomena to the new field of electrical studies, helping bridge a gap in scientific understanding.
2.Advancement of Electrical Science: The experiment was a milestone in the study of electricity, paving the way for further research. It encouraged other scientists to investigate electricity, which eventually led to discoveries that would power the modern world.
Franklin's kite experiment is celebrated not only for its scientific contribution but also for its bold approach to discovery, helping to advance the view that nature could be understood and harnessed for human benefit.
1.3 Could Memory Be Like Electricity - Universal That Is?
Ben Franklin proved that the tiny spark being viewed by scientists in labs and the mighty thunderclap being seen in the sky are essentials the same thing - electricity. In like manner, we observe memory while using computers and memory within ourselves. Could it be they are essentially the same thing - memory. Here are some key similarities between computer memory and human memory:
1. Storage and Retrieval of Information Both systems store information that can be retrieved later when needed. In computers, this is achieved through binary data storage, while in humans, it involves neural pathways and connections in the brain.
2. Short-Term and Long-Term Storage Both human memory and computer memory have "short-term" and "long-term" storage areas. Computers use RAM (random access memory) for short-term, volatile storage, and hard drives or SSDs for long-term, persistent storage. Similarly, humans have short-term memory for immediate, temporary storage and long-term memory for more permanent information storage.
3. Organization and Categorization of Data Both systems organize data in structured ways to facilitate efficient access and retrieval. Computers organize files in directories and have indexes to quickly find information, while the human brain categorizes memories and uses associative networks to link related concepts, helping us recall information through context and connections.
4. Data Encoding and Processing Computers encode data in binary format, while humans encode sensory input into neural signals. This encoding allows both systems to interpret and process input for use, storing it in a form that can be recognized and recalled later.
5. Working Memory Both have a "working memory" that temporarily holds and processes information in real-time. Computers use CPU cache and RAM for immediate data processing, while humans use working memory to handle information actively, like remembering a phone number briefly or solving a math problem on the spot.
6. Updating and Replacing Old Information Both computers and human memory can update or overwrite old information with new data. Computers overwrite files when saved with updates, and humans may modify or "overwrite" memories as new information or perspectives are gained.
In essence, both computer and human memory are designed to store, retrieve, organize, and process information. It certainly seems that memory, like electricity, is universal.
2. Are Computer and Human Memory the Same?
2.1 Human Remembering Is Limited, But Human Memory Is Unlimited
Memory plays an essential role in human identity, learning, and experience. Often, we believe that our remembering abilities align closely with our memory capacities. However, evidence from psychology, neuroscience, and everyday experience suggests a different reality: human remembering - the ability to access stored information - is limited, while human memory - the capacity to store information - is effectively unlimited. This distinction highlights a paradox in human cognition: although we can theoretically retain an immense amount of information, our access to it is constrained by various cognitive limitations. This essay argues that human remembering is indeed limited while human memory is boundless, drawing on scientific research, psychological theory, and practical examples.
2.2. Human Memory and Its Limitless Capacity
Human memory can be divided into three main types: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Each serves a distinct role in the storage and retrieval of information. Sensory memory briefly holds information from our senses, while short-term memory retains information for a few seconds to a minute. Long-term memory, however, is where the vast majority of our memories reside. Studies suggest that, unlike short-term memory, which has clear constraints (typically around seven items at once), long-term memory can store a virtually infinite amount of information.
The storage of information in long-term memory relies on the brain's complex neural networks, which reorganize and expand to accommodate new information. Theoretically, this process has no fixed limit. The capacity for storing memories seems boundless, as shown in cases where individuals can recall highly specific details even decades later. Moreover, phenomena like hyperthymesia, where individuals have extraordinary autobiographical memory, suggest that vast amounts of information can be retained indefinitely, supporting the notion of unlimited storage.
2.3. Limitations of Remembering: Cognitive Constraints on Recall
While long-term memory storage appears unlimited, the human ability to remember, or consciously retrieve memories, is markedly limited. Several cognitive factors contribute to this limitation. First, the brain relies on cues to retrieve memories. This associative nature of memory means that without specific triggers - such as a sight, smell, or word - many memories remain inaccessible. For example, someone may be unable to recall a childhood friend's name until they see a photograph or hear a familiar song from that time. This reliance on cues restricts the remembering process, creating gaps in access despite memories being stored in the brain.
Second, the brain uses a process called consolidation to prioritize certain memories over others, focusing on information that is deemed relevant, emotionally charged, or repeatedly rehearsed. Memories that are not consolidated may become more difficult to retrieve over time, even though they are still stored. This process of selective retention supports cognitive efficiency but limits our ability to remember everything we experience. Additionally, factors such as interference - where similar memories compete, leading to partial or distorted recall - further highlight the constraints on remembering. Thus, while memories exist, the ability to access them reliably is far from guaranteed.
2.4. Psychological Theories of Memory Supporting the Limited Remembering Hypothesis
Several psychological theories illustrate the constraints on remembering despite unlimited memory storage. Sigmund Freud's theory of repression, for example, posits that certain memories, especially those tied to traumatic or uncomfortable experiences, are stored but rendered inaccessible to the conscious mind. This suggests that memories remain within our minds indefinitely, yet access to them is selectively restricted, often beyond our control.
Another theory implies that many memories exist in long-term storage but remain irretrievable without the original encoding conditions. Thus, remembering is inherently limited by context and cues, even though the information is preserved within the brain.
2.5. Real-Life Evidence of Unlimited Memory Capacity and Limited Access
Everyday experiences further validate the premise that memory is unlimited but access is constrained. One notable example is the phenomenon of Deja vu, where individuals have a sensation of familiarity without being able to recall the exact memory associated with it. Deja vu suggests that stored memories are influencing perception without being consciously accessible, underscoring a limitation in our ability to remember stored information actively.
Another compelling example comes from cases of traumatic brain injury or neurological conditions where individuals recover "forgotten" memories after therapy or stimulation, revealing that memories thought lost or inaccessible can be revived. Such cases indicate that while these memories remained within the brain, they were simply outside the reach of voluntary recall. Similarly, in many instances, individuals recall details from early childhood - long assumed to be forgotten - after encountering specific cues, proving that vast stores of memory remain intact and available for potential retrieval.
2.6. Implications of Limited Remembering and Unlimited Memory for Learning and Identity
This duality of unlimited memory and limited remembering has profound implications for our understanding of human learning and identity. Since memory storage is abundant, individuals have the capacity to continually learn without displacing prior knowledge. However, the limited nature of remembering necessitates strategies for reinforcing and prioritizing information to ensure that relevant knowledge is accessible. For example, studying with repetition or using mnemonic devices can help improve recall by strengthening neural pathways, essentially boosting the likelihood of retrieval.
Moreover, the idea that memories are preserved even if they are not actively remembered suggests that aspects of our identity are retained in ways we may not consciously recognize. Subconscious influences from stored but inaccessible memories shape our personalities, preferences, and emotional responses. This aspect of memory speaks to a deeper, often hidden foundation of selfhood, where our experiences impact us even if we cannot recall them directly.
2.7. Conclusions About Perfect Human Memory
To build a Proof of Afterlife we have to make a few basic assumptions. One of these assumptions is that human memory does not forget. Why would it? In over 50 years of computer history, have you ever heard of a computer that forgets? The human mind, like a computer, is a memory machine. What goes in, stays in. The fact that we often forget things that have happened in the past does not necessarily mean that the memory does not exist in the mind. We may not be able to recall the memory at this moment, but that imperfect ability to recall does not prove the memory has been "dropped" from the mind. This makes no more sense than a memory in a computer inadvertently "dropping" information.
When it comes to human memory, we are like computers in that our memory is perfect. At Proof of Afterlife, we take the opposite tack, starting with the assumption that human memory never forgets. We envision our surroundings as the leading edge of memory and what goes into our memory stays there. This starts the moment we are conceived and continues until the end. It is with that assumption that human memory does not forget that we begin our programming proof of afterlife.
3. The Lifeline Array Computer Program
3.1. How the Lifeline Array Variable Functions
First, we setup an array variable with four locations and call it lifeline. This is how I envision an array variable when I'm programming. It is essentially a container in memory that we can put information into. In this case, we can store four data elements into four memory containers. We take your current location in time and place it into array location one. For this we call the Linux microtime function that returns our current location in time. Then we take your current X, Y, and Z coordinates of your location in space and place them into array locations 2, 3, and 4. In effect, what have done is take your location in space-time and saved it into the lifeline array variable as shown.
3.2. Creating a Two Dimensional Lifeline Array
Now we take our original lifeline array variable and add a second column making it a two dimensional array. The reason we are doing this is we are getting ready to write a loop. If we loop our original array, each iteration of the loop will over write the previous data getting us no where. When we add a second set of memory containers, we can add a counter on each iteration so we won't over write the data. For example, if we want to access our time location on the third iteration of the loop, it would be here - lifeline[3][1]. That would be the data from the third iteration of the loop, and the top location of the array which is time. Next we're going to look at the actual programming the executes the loop.
3.3. Writing a Program to Fill the Lifeline Array with Location and Time Data
This is the program that fills the array. It uses a programming technique called a for-next loop, as shown on line 5. The loop that starts with A =100 and continues until A = 999. It executes as fast as the computer can run it.
Here is a line by line description of how the program works:
Line 1 declairs the array.
Lines 2, 3, and 4 initialize the X, Y, and Z coordinate variables, establishing them as numeric data type.
Line 5 is the start of the loop. The loop starts with a = 100, increments a by 1 on each iteration, then stops when a = 999.
Line 6 loads the current time.
Line 7 loads your current X coordinate location in the universe.
Line 8 loads your Y coordinate.
Line 9 loads your Z coordinate.
Line 10 returns program control to line 5.
3.4. Creating a Program to Read the Data Out of the Array
Now that we ran the data input program above the array is filled with data. To prove it, we need a program to read the data back out of the array.
To read the data back out, we are going to use the same loop as above. Here is a description of what each line does.
Line 1 sets the start of the loop, A=100 to A=999
Line 2 reads A. The first line would be 100, the second 101 and so on.
Line 3 reads the time. Echo means print. The line calls lifeline[100][1]. That is the first line, first column.
Line 4, 5, 6 read out X, Y, and Z data. BR means line break.
Line 7 sets the bottom of the loop.
3.5. What the Output Data Looks Like
When we run the program ablove, the output looks like this. What you have here is the variable A (the counter), followed by the time, a dash, the X, Y, and Z data. The output has 900 lines, from 100 to 999.
3.6. Plotting the Lifeline Data onto the Environment
The next step is to take the coordinate data map it into the envirionment. That looks like this:
Each red dot represents one row in the lifeline array. The first row for exmple, would be the first red dot on the bottom, left of the page. That red dot is plotted to the exact time and location (X,Y,Z) in array row 100. The next red dot would be the time and location of row 101. The third red dot would be row 102. The picture in total reprents your position within the environment. It puts a pin at the exact time and location for each of the 900 iterations of the array.
4. Introducing a Database to Hold the Array
4.1. Creating a Database Table to Hold the Lifeline Array
Writing a program to hold data in a variable is nice, but a database is better. A variable held in memory can run out of memory fairly quickly, especially in a looped procedure like this. The variable's data competes for memory space. When you use a database to hold the data, there is no compition of memory space. There is no competion for computer resources either. The size of the array can be virtually unlimited. It is limited only by this size of the database machine it is hosted on. A database computer brings full processing power to the task of managing and saving data. It is designed from the ground up to store and retrieve data. A database server adds size, speed, and power to the program. For that reason we are now going to save our lifeline data into a seperate database server.
To do that, we need to setup a database table to hold our data. This is the database equivalent of our lifeline array. That looks like this:
Here is how each field is defined in the lifeline database table:
atest_id is the ID field for the table. It is used to edit data in the database. It is automatically created and maintained by the database computer. It is integer data type.
atest_no is used to hold our A value from the array program. If you think of this as a spreadsheet, atest_no holds the row number. It is integer data type.
atime holds the time. It has a decimal data type. It has 20 numbers, a period, and 6 decimal palces (for example 123457890123457890.123456).
x_coordinate holds the X coordinate. It is decimal data type, etc.
4.2. Rewriting Our Program to Write Data into a Database
We are going to use the exact same logic that we used to fill the lifeline array, only modified slightly so it will work with a database.
ather that writing the data directly into the array variable as we did before, we are going to write a SQL statement to add a record to the database. On each iteraction of the loop, we write an INSERT SQL statement, then execute it. Here is what each line does:
Line 1 set the start of the loop, going from 100 to 999 exactly like our array program.
Line 2 writes the first half of the SQL INSERT statement. We put it into a variable called tempsql.
Line 3 concatenates onto the SQL statemnt started in line 2. It adds the A value, putting it into position to be read into the atest_no field.
Line 4, 5, 6, and 7 concatenates the data for time, X, Y, and Z. Each data value is separated by a comma.
Line 8 executes the SQL INSERT statement, reading the data from the program into the database.
Line 9 returns the program to line 1 where the loop starts over.
4.3 The Database Data Loaded After the Program Runs
Next I go to my database adminstration software and look at the data. This is what the data looks like after the program runs. The data is 900 rows deep, and six fields wide.
4.4 Adding a New Field to the Lifeline Table: The Blob
We are now going to add a new filed to the lifelife table, shown in red below. The new field as of the BLOB data type.
In a database, a BLOB (Binary Large OBject) is a data type that can store binary data. BLOBs are typically used to store files such as images, audio, and other multimedia objects. Consider a table named gallery with columns for id, name, and image, where the image column is of the BLOB data type. To insert an image into the table, you might use a programming language like PHP to handle the file upload and store the binary data in the BLOB column. BLOBs in a database provides a flexible way to store large amounts of binary data.
4.5 Putting the Database on a Separate Physical Server
We are going to further develop our program by hosting it using two computers as shown below:
We call the computer on the left the Reality computer. This is the computer used to experience the environment. All of its resources are involved in experiencing and processing reality. Input comes in through site, sound, smell, touch etc. There it is combined and processed with thought going on at the moment. When we experience reality, it is already in our mind - specifically the visual cortex. We are representing that process with the reality computer. Additionally, there is our little lifeline loop program running as shown by the red dot. This program must be resident in the Realltiy computer to have the data on hand to load the array.
The program code shown above assigns the database on the separate database server. On each loop, data is gathered and written to the database. The database adds a new row of data on each iteration. The overhead of processing reality is handeled by the Reality computer. The overhead of storing the data sent over by the Reality computer is handled by the Database server.
5. Focusing on The Reality Computer
5.1 What if the Environment is Already in Memory: An Intriguing Possibility
The notion that the present environment might itself be a form of memory offers a new perspective on how we experience the world. This concept suggests that the landscapes surrounding us are actually inside our memory. By interpreting the environment as memory, we gain insight into how the mind works.
Thinking of the present environment as memory enriches our awareness of time and place. What this leads us to is the understanding the nothing exists outside memory. We may "feel" that the outside world exists outside of us but that really is not true. We experience the outside world when it registers in the visual cortex in the mind. Thus, it is the memory of the moment that is the moment.
5.2. Can We Store Three-Dimensional Space in Memory?
Yes, it is possible to store three-dimensional (3D) space in memory. Both biological and digital systems accomplish this by encoding essential spatial information, like object positions, relationships, and orientations, in ways that can be efficiently accessed and manipulated. In biological systems, our brains use structures like the hippocampus, along with specialized neurons such as place and grid cells, to store spatial information. These cells create a cognitive map that helps us remember locations, navigate routes, and understand object relationships within a 3D space. In digital systems, 3D space is stored using data structures like grids, octrees, or voxel maps. These structures break down space into units (like cubes or nodes) that can represent objects and their locations. For example, in gaming or virtual reality, 3D models and environments are stored with coordinates, textures, and lighting information. Rendering then interprets these representations to create a realistic 3D view.
5.3 A Computer Dedicated to Processing Reality
What we have is a computer, specially built from the ground up, just to process reality
What I am attempting to show here is the human mind gathering up the environment and storing it in memory. The spiral shows the computer absorbing reality and storing it in its memory.
5.4 Writing the Reality Computer's Memory into the Blob Database Field
So now we take the Reality Computer's memory and write it into the blob database field as shown below.
The database record (shown above) now includes the time of the moment, the center of the environment (X, Y, and Z) coordinates, and the entire three dimensional surrounding space. The memory requirements need not be small, even by today's computer standards. The Blob data field has a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 bytes, well within 3-D model range. The Reality computer memory capacity can be large. The database server memory storage can be large too. Technically, this could work, both in terms of storeage size size and processing speed.
5.5 Sending the Looped Reality Array Data Out to the Database
The Lifeline Array is shown in the Reality computer on the left. The circular arrow illustrates that the array is in a loop. At the top of the loop, it fills the time and space variables with location data. At the bottom of the loop it writes the data out to the Database computer where it is stored. The latest moment's data is shown in red. The array data, from the current moment, is written to the database server where it is inserted as the latest record in the database.>
The program loop is running without restriction. Each moment is being gathered up and written out as it unfolds. We also made another change. At the top of our loop, we replace the for-next statement with a while(1) statement. The changes the nature of the loop so that it runs continuously, rather than 900 iterations of previous examples. What we wind up with is a computer that exeriences, processes, and writes out a new reality for every moment. The loop program runs continuously, from the time the computer is turned on.
6. Focusing on The Database Computer
6.1 What Happens When the Realtiy Loop Breaks?
When we set up our loop with "while", as opposed to "for next", it will run forever. This is forever loop is rarely used in programming because there is no way to stop the program from executing. To stop the loop, you litterally need to go into the operating system at the command line and issue a command to cancel the service. Otherwise, it just runs forever.
Eventaully, the program will stop. It could be the Reality computer has its plug pulled. Or it could be a fire. It could be a hardware malfunction. Whatever it is, sooner or later the reality loop wll cease the function.
So the question becomes, when the Reality loop finally stops what do we have left?
On the Reality computer side we have nothing. Dust to dust, as they say.
On the Database computer side what we have is far from nothing. What we have is a collection of realities that have accumulated in a database from birth until now. Put another way, the information in the database is a time-space continuum that starts at the moment of birth and ends on the moment just before the Reality computer quit. Notice that this didn't require anything special to happen to make it so. It was built into the system. It was there all along. Notice also that the data retained in the Database computer is coimpletely intact and perfect. There was no corruption of data from the power being pulled. It simply recorded the last good record into the database to yield a perfect time-space continuum.
6.2 Where Is Afterlife Located Physically?
Afterlife has to exist somewhere. We can't see it, so where can it be? To exist, it must be located somewhere.
To find where in the universe afterlife exists, we simply need to look at the top (latest) record in the database as shown above. Afterlife is one point wide, deep, and tall. It is one moment in duration. The location of afterlife is recorded in the reality array, showing its precise X,Y, Z and time coordinates. That is the location where afterlife takes place. That person's afterlife takes place within that moment.
6.3. The End of Life Yields Something Better - The Butterfly Concept
When we close our eyes at the last moment of life, then open them a moment later, the transformation will be like caterpillar into a butterfly. We will embark on incredible wonder, culminating in the moment of emergence. After spending days or weeks cocooned in the still, mysterious chrysalis, the butterfly finally awakens. It is a moment of triumph and rebirth, as the creature, once earthbound and slow-moving, emerges delicate yet strong, its new wings unfurling like a vibrant tapestry painted by nature itself. There is a tangible sense of anticipation in this awakening - a promise fulfilled as the butterfly, instinctively knowing its purpose, begins to prepare for flight.
This awakening is not merely physical but symbolic, as the butterfly embodies the ultimate transformation and freedom. Its wings, damp at first, begin to dry and strengthen under the sun's gentle warmth, each intricate pattern and color more vivid than the last. The butterfly stretches its new form, testing the limits of its delicate body, discovering a new dimension of movement that was previously unthinkable. The thrill of possibility surges as it flutters for the first time, leaving behind the shell of its former self and embracing the skies as its new home.
The excitement of the butterfly's awakening is a reflection of life's potential for growth and change. It is a moment of celebration, a vivid reminder that transformation is not just a process but a revelation. What was once confined to crawling along leaves now has the entire sky as its domain. As the butterfly takes its maiden flight, it inspires a sense of wonder in all who witness it - a testament to the beauty of nature's cycles and the boundless potential that lies within every living being.
6.4 It Seems Like We'd Be Free to Go Anywhere in Time
With a butterfly suddenly let loose in a time-space continuum, it seems like we could go anywhere as shown below.
In the example shown above, the butterfly starts at the last (top) moment of the database, then flys back in time to another moment in the past. The red arrow shows the location in time where the butterfly starts, then it shows the second moment that the butterfly travels to. When the butterfly gets to the second location in time, reality it finds there is complete and pristine. This is not a copy of the reality. It is reality, only at another moment in time. Is this what afterlife will be like? Is this what will happen? Well, not exactly.
6.5 Actually, We Will Be Everywhere in Time
While it may seems great to be a butterfly that is free to go anywhere in time, what actually happens is far greater. When you travel from point A to point B, you are still in only one moment at a time.
In the Reality array, the moments where the butterfly exist are shown in red. In the section before, the butterfly moved from the last moment in life to some random moment in the past. This section shows what really happens. The butterfly goes from the last moment of life into all moments in the database. The butterfly is able to goes from its last moment of life into all moments of the time-space continuum. How can it do that? You can see above, that the last moment moment of life is red and all other moments of life are red also. In other words, the butterful is ubiquitious throughout the space. It is everywhere in time simultaneously.
This is a subtle but very important distinction. In Section 6.4, we paint the picture of a lone butterfly in a big empty space. In other words, the butterfly is small and the surrounding space is large. This is how things are during life. This is not how things are in afterlife. In afterlife, the butterfly goes everywhere throughout the space. The surrounding space is large. The butterfly is large too. It is as large as the space. At the last moment of life, butterfly awareness expands throughout time. This is a diffiucult concept to comprehend given our current circumstances. We have no frame of reference for this. During life, we are always small surrounded by a large environment. In afterlife, it is different. You can think of this as the butterfly going into every moment in time simultaneously. It exists everywhere. The butterfly is ubiquiltious in time.
7. Conclusion: Unveiling the Grand Design
7.1. Afterlife Isn't Just a Change of Environment, It Is a Change of Dimension
I fear the previous section may have been an oversimplification. It gives the false impression that afterlife will be merely a change in environment - as if we can close our eyes at the end of life, and then open them the next moment, to find ourselves within a much larger enclosure of spacetime. In other words, I've given the impression that only the surrounding environment has changed while our basic presence (consciousness) as a human being has remained the same.
This is not the case. Yes, the environment has changed. It has transformed from a moment into a time continuum. However, the nature of our presence has changed too. Our presence has undergone a dimensional change. It transformed, at the moment of afterlife, from position in spacetime to all spacetime.
This dimensional change of life, as conceptualized through the lens of geometry, is an awe-inspiring transformation: a singularity - a geometric point in spacetime - evolving into the vast, dynamic manifold that constitutes all of spacetime. This process, that I describe as dimensional change, is an expansion of space and time themselves. Geometrically, it marks the birth of the spacetime continuum.
At the last moment of life lies a singularity, which can be understood geometrically as a zero-dimensional point. In mathematical terms, a point has no width, length, or height; it is defined solely by its position. The geometric evolution of a point in spacetime into all spacetime is a testament to the power of geometry as a language for understanding the universe. From the singularity, a zero-dimensional point of infinite potential, emerges the manifold of spacetime, made possible by the accumulation of memory during life.
This transformation that transpires at the end of life, encapsulates the relationship between the infinitesimal and the infinite. It demonstrates that geometry is capable of creating a cosmos from a singular beginning. Through the lens of geometry, the Afterlife is not just the origin of space and time but the boundless complexity of space and time itself.
7.2. Life Is Temporary. Its True Purpose is to Build a Universe.
Life, in all its beauty and complexity, is inherently temporary. From the moment we are born, we are part of a cycle of beginnings and endings, growth and decay, arrivals and departures. All living things, from the smallest organism to the grandest tree, share the same fate: they are born, grow, and ultimately perish. This cycle is dictated by the laws of nature. Humans have an awareness of mortality. Unlike other creatures, we recognize the finite nature of our time.
During our temporary life we are surrounded by the universe. It is vast and unfathomable. It stretches outwards into the infinite expanse of space. Yet, equally profound is the universe within - a cosmos of thoughts, emotions, and the intricate workings of consciousness. While the external universe is a collection of stars, galaxies, and cosmic phenomena, the inner universe is a landscape of introspection, creativity, and understanding. As we move through life, during each moment the inner universe gets absorbed into memory where it builds a vast time space continuum.
The universe within is as vast and enigmatic as the cosmos beyond. It is the birthplace of memory, holding meaning, creativity, and human connection. By retaining the universe within, we absorb the beauty and complexity of existence. In afterlife, we manifest the greatest journey of all - the one that has taken place within the mind and soul. The light of our inner universe, all of which is contained in memory, will imbue us with understanding, growth, and fulfillment eternally.
Inside every person is a universe. The true reason we are put on this earth is to build that universe. We move through life, moment by moment, simultaneously experiencing and absorbing the inner universe in memory. The memories accumulate forming a vast inner universe that contains time and space. As profound as each moment may seem during life, it is this constantly accumulating inner univese that truly matters.
7.3. The Mathematics of Afterlife is Astounding
To actually "prove" afterlife in a physical sense we have to address the elephant in the room. The elephant is the question of how life can continue after death. The answer is that is doesn't. We never said it did. Afterlife does not continue one moment after death.
It may seem like an enigma but it's not. Afterlife can exist, yet not continue beyond death. What makes it possible is the dimensional change that takes place. To explain how this can happen I want you to think of a pyramid. It is the pyramid that embodies the secret to how afterlife exists eternally, even though it physically never lasts in time even one moment beyond death.
To understand this mathematically, we need to view the concept of "all time" relative to the individual as opposed to "all time" relative to the cosmos. While both perspectives deal with time as a fundamental aspect of existence, the subjective experience of time for an individual is radically different from the objective, cosmic scale of time in the universe.
The individual is only aware of time in terms of their own consciousness, thoughts, and experiences. An individual is born into a specific time and lives for a finite period. Their experience of time is constrained to their lifespan. So "all time" relative to an individual is everything they have experienced. Everything they have experienced and their memory are the same.
Returning to our concept of the pyramid, we have conscious awareness during life sitting at the sharp, shiny, absolute apex. The apex is a single point, position only. It is our location at the last moment of life. In terms of our programming thought experiment, it is the exact X, Y, Z and time location of our existence.
The base of the pyramid is the exact opposite and inverse. The base of the pyramid represents the surrounding environment. It is unlimited in length, width, depth, and time relative to the experiencing individual. The mathematics is a contrast in opposites. At the last moment of life, conscious awareness is the position at the apex of the pyramid. Awareness' exact inverse is all space and time, represented by the pyramid. So, what happens is one moment conscious awareness is a point and the next moment it is all space time. Memory makes it possible. Awareness' exact opposite is memory.
One of the most profound emotional responses to afterlife is a sense of awe - a deep appreciation for the vastness and complexity of memory. Afterlife marks not only the beginning of everything we know but also the unfolding of awareness into unlimited space and time. The sheer scale of the event evokes a sense of humility in the face of memory that is so vast and eternal. The very idea that the were once confined to a singularity, and have since evolved into an expansive universe, sparks a sense of wonder. The unfurling of all space and time this takes place WITHIN a single location in physical space time. That is why the human body's continued support is no longer a factor.
