Omnibyte Simulation-multiverse Deal (The Compatible-with-ai-bot Version)
by Mr. Jeffrey Robert Palin Jr.
0006 : Eric
It was another normal day of traveling in the city. It was nice out; the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Eric and his wife were walking around the city and popping their heads into the little trinket shops along their way.
Before beginning crossing a street on their way back to their parked car located a ways away, Eric's wife begins crossing the street first, she pauses, looks back and reaches out her hand towards Eric with a smile. Eric raises his eyebrows while smiling back at her and he grabs her hand as they playfully enjoy each other's company while crossing the street. BEEEEEEP!!!! In seconds, a car horn alarming everyone got closer and louder.
It all happened too fast. Before Eric knew it, a car was barreling towards them, catching them both by surprise. Spotting the onrushing vehicle too late to get out of the way, he did what he could and a devastating event had happened.
Eric's wife had already rushed to Eric.
Her heart is racing and tears are streaming down her face as she screams for someone to call an ambulance. A few "bystanders nearby" made the phone call without having to be asked and they tried to comfort her in her time of despair.
She had found Eric still breathing but badly injured when she had rushed to him. Police and an ambulance didn't take long to arrive at the scene.
Emergency medical services bring Eric, along with Eric's wife, to the nearest hospital and they find that Eric is now undergoing cardiac arrest. Eric's wife is "crying and shaking" as she pleads for them to save him.
The medical professionals handle the situation professionally. Eric remains alive but Eric is seemingly unresponsive and Eric's condition is seeming as though Eric's condition might remain unresponsive for the foreseeable future. The medical professionals tell Eric's wife that to get a better picture of Eric's prognosis, they would need her to consent to record Eric's brain responses to stimuli, since Eric "seems comatose and cannot do so himself". Results show the medical professionals that Eric has conscious responses. They had discovered that Eric was able to sometimes "intentionally slightly move his middle finger as many times as he was told to" per "the exact number that he was told to move his finger during" when they had counted upwards from zero. However, they also discovered that his eyes were "moving rapidly" underneath their eyelids.
A few days later, Eric's state still has not changed but the medical professionals did discover that, regarding all parts of Eric's physical form, Eric feels the touch whenever any part of his physical form is physically touched and that, regarding all parts of Eric's physical form, Eric feels the pain whenever any part of his physical form physically undergoes something that normally is painful.
Many days pass while "Eric's wife Amy" visits "Eric at his hospital room" "as often and as long" as she can manage. While visiting Eric at the hospital, Amy is approached by a man in a suit holding a briefcase. "Hi." She says hesitantly.
"Hello. I am aware of the situation "you and your husband" are in and I am here to propose to you a solution." The man replied.
"Forgive me, who, may I ask, are you?" Amy asks.
"Oh my. Forgive my rudeness. I am with the VRC." He answers.
"VRC?" The woman asks.
"The Virtual Reality Corporation. You see, the VRC had many hospitals implemented in different "towns, cities, and other locations" throughout the country. These hospitals are owned by the VRC. We have been working on new technologies for patients who are in a minimally conscious state. I am here to assist you in setting up "said technology" if you so choose to accept my offer. No payment as of right now. We are only testing the material. If we set up Eric with our technology, you will be able to "communicate and interact" with your husband much more efficiently. You'll both be able to have verbal conversations with each other and you'll both be able to do more than that. But ""part of the offer" and "the only way for our services to accomplish the forementioned things"", is that Eric is required to undergo surgeries if you accept our offer. Brain surgery is one of those surgeries if you accept our offer. You and I are currently standing in one of the VRC's hospitals."
After a couple moments to let that information sink in, Amy looks at her husband who is in a hospital bed.
"The medical professionals haven't been able to get Eric to move his middle finger for three weeks now. We haven't been able to receive any communication from him for three weeks now. He's still alive, breathing, and his eyes are still "moving rapidly" underneath their eyelids."
"If my husband can respond, does he get a say in the matter?"
"Of course he does."
""The man in the suit" and Amy" "discussed the offer" with each other "in front of Eric" for a couple days during visits, but ""The man in the suit" and Amy" still didn't receive any communication from Eric.
Amy finally makes a decision after weighing all of her options. She tells the man that she thinks that she'll go through with his offer.
"This could be my only hope ""for him to recover in any way" or "for us to both share each other's lives with each other ever again"".", Amy says regarding herself and Eric.
"I understand."
The man in the suit opens his briefcase.
"Here is the paperwork. It requires your signature in order to proceed with the VRC's offer. Also, in order to proceed with the VRC's offer, consent from "you on Eric's behalf" is also "required in the form of your signature" since, according to the current "diagnosis of Eric regarding "Eric's state that resulted from his being hit by a car"" that is in Eric's current medical records, Eric is unable to give consent himself. Please take as long as you need to read it thoroughly before you finalize your decision."
Amy tells "the man in the suit" that she wants to read the paperwork with ""said "man"" in the suit" present so that ""said "man"" in the suit" can ""answer all of her questions" and "explain things"" on the spot while Eric may be listening. As Amy "reads and discusses" things with the man, she "looks and sounds" like she fully understands the offer. The paperwork provided ""the same offer" and "a better explanation"" regarding what the man had "offered and thoroughly explained". Amy signs the paperwork.
It is agreed that ""the surgery happens that day" and "Amy can contact "anyone she would like to inform" about the surgery"". They all ""stayed at the hospital until the next day" and "were there for Eric"".
The man assures Amy that Eric should be ""all set up" and "ready"" by noon.
By noon, "Amy, the man in the suit, and Eric" were all in Eric's hospital room.
"Allow me to hook the tablet up to the network of the "computer that Eric is connected to"", the man said to Amy. Amy begins silently praying for all to go well.
"Eric's physical form, nervous system, and brain" are connected to "computers and medical equipment". A tablet is set on his bedside table and the tablet's screen shows a sort of application for the program.
"The man in the suit" reminds Amy that "for this portion of the process", "Amy and himself" can only observe "the encounter that Eric is about to have" by ""viewing" and "listening to"" the tablet. Amy nods her head looking very "worried and eager".
The process begins.
Eric, still able to "imagine and interpret" "thoughts and imagery", begins to detect a voice."
"Testing. Can you hear me?"
"My mental voice said that, I wasn't thinking those words. Hold up, I'm not trying to picture this...my mind is hallucinating!"
"I can non-wirelessly send to your brain, from one or more of my computers, "only "physical signals/etc"" that force your brain to produce my communication to you since ""parts of your physical physical form" have recently been "connected to computers" in the way that "parts of your physical physical form" have recently been connected to computers"."
"What the.. "YOU FORCE MY BRAIN TO PRODUCE IMAGININGS" IN ORDER FOR YOU TO COMMUNICATE "YOUR COMMUNICATION "WITH ME AS THE RECEIVER OF THAT IMAGININGS-COMMUNICATION.. that you "communicate via""!!!!!!...
""The VRC has "never "developed, discovered, "heard of" nor found"" ""a way to do "such communication" wirelessly" except via surgical implant""."
Eric is able to converse with the individual via (Eric's) thoughts. Eric ""confirms that he can detect the individual's voice" and "asks the individual why he is trying to communicate with him"".
"I want to see if "you and your wife" are worthy."
"Worthy of what?" Eric asks.
"Worthy of having a wish granted." the individual answers, as he proceeds to interrogate Eric for quite some time. Eric finds this entire part of the process ""very unpleasant" and "clearly uncomfortable"".
Eric found that the time it takes for this individual to respond is often much faster than the speed at which a normal person is capable of responding. "This individual that he interacts with" seems to understand what Eric said before Eric responded. ""The individual seemed to know what Eric was trying to say before Eric said it" and "the individual responded before Eric finished what Eric was saying"". After being ""asked and told" things so repetitively" as if the replies from the individual were a set of programmed replies, Eric wondered if he was speaking to ""an AI" or "a human"". Eric was thoroughly confused. In the meantime, he settles for calling the individual "the entity". He told Eric that he was not the first to go through this process. There were many others. The entity begins to tell Eric the information that was relayed to his wife before they started the test. When he finishes his explanation, most of Eric's questions were answered.
The entity then proceeded to tell Eric that, for the time being, due to the fact that Eric can't function in the real world but his brain is still very much responsive, to insure that he stays in good health until he can get out of his "being in a minimally conscious state", he will be able to ""interact with very many computer "simulation-others" in a "simulation-universe" in an "already-existing-computer-simulation running on VRC computers that members of the VRC are able to see the computer simulation's environment-imagery displayed on screens of devices that are connected to said computers" via" "said computer simulation"". The computer simulation-world ""will function much like a virtual reality game" but "will look and feel like real life"". "The computers that are connected to "Eric's physical form and brain"" can "send electric impulses to Eric's brain's somatosensory cortex" to create the "sensation of touch" anywhere on Eric's physical form. This is how the computer Simulation will feel like real life for Eric. I am a representative of The Virtual Reality Corporation, also known as the VRC. The VRC ""made use of ""knowledge and understanding" of "how Phantom Limb Syndrome works" to trick a brain into false sensory""" and "had created more technology that is also for the purpose of enabling people to experience the computer Simulation as if the "experiencing of the computer Simulation" is almost like living in "real life while not in the computer Simulation""". The system isn't able to currently simulate the exact accurate "physics and/or quantum physics" of "the physical universe that Eric currently breathes in" but the VRC feels that the computer simulation is not disappointing especially if things like magic are added to any of the computer simulation's worlds. Also, the future of "the physical universe that he currently breathes in" is unpredictable due to things such as "Alzheimer's disease", Dementia, mutations, etc... . In quantum physics of "the physical universe that Eric currently breathes in", true unpredictable randomness exists at the quantum level, even when it comes to each human's physical form at the quantum level. So, when it comes to anything related to "the computer Simulation and all that is simulated that is in/"part of" the computer Simulation", true unpredictable randomness exists from each "effect and/or change" ever "caused, made, and/or "having resulted from"" any "non-digital human and/or other non-digital physical thing" in "the physical universe that Eric currently breathes in". Such "effects and/or changes" happen due to things like "software maintenance handled by ""one or numerous" non-digital humans in the physical universe that Eric currently breathes in"" and/or "any interaction between "any digital thing of the computer Simulation" and "any "digital avatar of the computer Simulation" controlled by "any "non-digital human" in "the physical universe that Eric currently breathes in"""". Eric is informed that, with "the physical universe that he currently breathes in" as the basis preset (default), he is required to "create, change, and/or keep" any of the "laws and rules", such as "physics and/or magic", of the computer simulation-universe that he will be experiencing many new interactions via. The "laws and rules" must be included in his application for the program.
The entity tells Eric that the Virtual Reality Corporation has been collecting data from all the people that it scans for "games and simulations". "All voluntary of course." The entity reassures Eric. "It also has data from ""social media" and "various questions that it had asked all those people"". AI versions of those people will be "present in the simulation-world" and they'll be among the many different "AI programs that can "interact with ""you and everything" in the ""simulation-worlds" and "simulation-universes""" via Application Programming Interface". "The simulation-universe itself" is a program but the "simulation-universe program" doesn't have any of its own ""machine learning" and "deeplearning"" implementations." The "simulation-universe program" has "avatars that have the on-screen visible appearance of simulation-people" and those simulation-avatars are already part of the "simulation-universe program". The "AI programs that are artificial "thinking existences"" control those avatars, one avatar per AI program, "by those AI programs interacting with the "simulation-universe program" via "Application Programming Interface"" but those AI programs are configured in a way whereby those interactions ""are all that those AI programs are able to "do and experience"" and "are their only functions"". Each one of those "AI programs that are artificial "thinking existences"" has its own ""machine learning" and "deeplearning"" implementations. Each ""interaction that those AI programs have with the "simulation-universe program"" via "Application Programming Interface"" is also a data source for ""those "AI programs that are artificial "thinking existences""" and "the "simulation-universe program""" whereby "each one of those different interactions" is a data source whose "combination of data" is different per different interaction. There are also non-digital individuals who have "simulation-avatars that represent those individuals" and "each one of those individuals" controls their own ""avatar of the simulation" that represents that individual". An avatar "is a simulation but is also part of a ""virtual world/universe" that is also a simulation and, as a whole, ""the avatar and the virtual world/universe" together" ""makes so" one big simulation"". Eric is told that he can "copy "rules and laws" from others' existing simulation-worlds/simulation-universes" to use regarding his own simulation-world/simulation-universe. He also tells Eric that he can even choose to experience many new interactions via someone else's existing simulation-world/simulation-universe instead of his own simulation-world/simulation-universe ever getting created. "It's important to know that there isn't ""any way to", "anyone that is able to", nor "any thing that is able to"" enable one to ""do something "via solely will"" that one isn't able to "do "via solely will"" outside of the Simulation". The VRC's members are no exception to that". The entity "concludes his questionnaire" with certainty that Eric is worthy to undergo the simulation. "You can take as long as you need to complete the application.
An automated AI reads off the sections of the application for Eric to ""respond to" and "fill out"". Eric is describing the visual effects he wants to see in his created world/universe when The entity interrupts him with a statement. "All you need to do for this portion is imagine. I can see on a ""TV and/or monitor" screen" everything you mentally picture."
Eric replies with a bit of anger", "You can see what I imagine... Isn't this a bit invasive?!"
"Yes well... The application must be. In order to create your own world/universe we..., "the word "we" ""meaning and "refering to"" the VRC and VRC-members" in this case", ...In order to create your own world/universe, we must get every last detail. Verbal detail doesn't always cut it." The entity goes silent once again.
"Even though time flows 30 minutes outside of the simulation, time flows many years in the simulation during those 30 minutes outside of the simulation. "Said "many years"" in the simulation are "experienced in the simulation" as if time flowed for "said "many years"" outside of the simulation. To someone who is watching the simulation from anywhere that is outside of the simulation, while "said someone" is watching the simulation from anywhere that is outside of the simulation, "depending on which "universe or select areas" in the simulation", "everything in the simulation", visibly looks like "said everything" is "happening and moving" in super high speed fast forward motion.
"So I'll be able to potentially gain, in my simulation- form, "hundreds of years-worth of experience" in this simulation?"
"Yes. You are potentially able to."
A long while passes as the "imagery and other things" imagined by Eric are discussed.
"Wait, if I do this, can I connect "other people's simulation-worlds/simulation-universes" to my own simulation-world/simulation-universe?" Eric asks The entity.
"...Normally this would not be done, but according to how you imagined it, Yes. However, in the simulation, "everyone and everything" in a simulation-universe, experiences "said universe" in a manner that is in accordance to all of the laws of "said universe" much like the way people's experience of the universe is normally in a manner that is in accordance with "gravity, which is normally one of the laws of the universe". "Any and all" "changing, modifying, altering, redesigning, revamping, remodeling, tweaking, editing, and/or refining" any "laws of a simulation-universe"/"systems implemented by a simulation-universe's creator" can only be done by ""said "universe's"" creator". "One exact simulation-copy of each one of all already existing simulation-universes" is automatically implemented into the simulation. Any "exact copy of any already existing simulation-universe other than the aformentioned exact ""said "copies"" of already existing simulation-universes"" is not allowed to be implemented into the simulation. Any "simulation-universe other than the aformentioned exact ""said "copies"" of already existing simulation-universes"" that is too similar to any already existing simulation-universe is not allowed to be implemented into the simulation. Whenever, in the simulation, an individual undergoes-very-severe-injuries in a simulation-universe when "said individual" is not in "the simulation-universe that "said individual" ""created" or "originated in""", "said individual" undergoes whatever """after-circumstances-of-very-severe-injuries existence" system" that is in effect regarding "said simulation-universe"".
Every time that, in the simulation, "what seems like a full year" has passed for an individual, and it seems that "said individual" is unable to leave a simulation-universe when "said individual" is not in the simulation-universe that they ""created" or "originated in"", "said individual" instantly gets teleported to any "random previous place that "said individual" has ever been at" in the simulation-universe that "said individual" ""created" or "originated in"". Whenever, in the simulation, an individual undergoes-very-severe-injuries in a simulation-universe when "said individual" is not in the "simulation-universe that "said individual" ""created" or "originated in""", if there is no ""after-circumstances-of-very-severe-injuries existence" system" that's in effect regarding "said simulation-universe", "said individual" instantly gets teleported to any "random previous place that "said individual" has ever been at" in the simulation-universe that they ""created" or "originated in"". All of this applies to "each person, each thing, and each universe" in the simulation. All of this also applies to "each person who "creates or created" a simulation-universe in this simulation". Starting now, all of this is in ongoing nonstop effect."
"Fine by me. But what exactly does "I will be able to interact with other "simulation-others and non-digital others" in a simulation-universe" mean? Will I be able to see anything? Will I be able to do anything besides speak?"
"Via brain-computer interface (BCI), the imagery of the simulation can wirelessly "be sent to your brain", from "one or more than one" computers. "Via brain-computer-interface, also known as BCI, "one or more than one" computers can wirelessly "send to your brain", what forces your brain to produce ""said imagery" that is in the form of "your mind producing imagined imagery"" since "your physical form has recently been "connected to computers" in the way that your physical form has recently been connected to computers. ""Your oberving imagery" is via" "your being able to observe ""what you imagine" and or """what we force you to imagine" via" BCI that wirelessly "sends to your brain", what forces your brain to produce ""said imagery" that is in the form of "your mind producing imagined imagery"" since "your physical form has recently been "connected to computers" in the way that your physical form has recently been connected to computers""""."
"Okay, but how do you expect me to control anything in my current physical condition. Do I have to constantly "speak commands that make my simulation-physical form do what I specify" via the method we are currently using to communicate with each other?"
"...Normally, in order to keep the information of "how that is acheived" from leaking to competitors, "said information" is never disclosed. However, "said information" is provided to "choice people" who are able to make "very decent yearly money contributions" via financial negotiations. "Your wife Amy" is one of those people who has agreed, in a new contract that she signed, to make yearly money contributions towards ""making "the simulation available to the public" in a way whereby the simulation is wirelessly available to be accessed by the public", hardware in the form of gear that enables control of simulation-avatars, and "towards the simulation having video game features, such as "quests, temples, mazes, labyrinths, dungeons, completion rewards, and things of that nature"... also, ""customized simulation-avatar creation" whereby "all that applies to a simulation universe" also applies to "said avatar" when "said avatar" is in "said universe""".
"Said "yearly money contributions"" are also being contributed towards paying non-digital employees to control many different particular simulation-avatars that are specially created so that "said employees" control "said avatars" to make "said avatars" always attack until the simulation-versions of "whoever, whatever, and all living existences" are digitally depicted/portrayed as being not able to able to move in whatever "universe "said attackers" are in" as long as ""said "simulation-versions of "whoever, whatever, and all living existences""" are within a particular proximity of particular "other simulation-avatars that are specially created so that other employees control very "difficult to defeat" bosses who are there to """wreak as much havoc to" and "attack"" all simulation-versions of "whoevers, whatevers, and all "simulation living-existences"" as they can" until ""said whoevers", "said whatevers", and "said "simulation living-existences""" are unable to move"". "Said bosses" also never-endingly continue to try to "stall and prevent" all simulation-others from acheiving different particular quests until "said quests" are over. Also, "said attackers" get to choose whichever one ""said whoever", "said whatever", and "said "simulation living-existence""" that "said attackers" want to "target and attack" and for the attackers, when it comes to any digitally depicted/portrayed living thing, a digitally depicted/portrayed living existence is considered not able to move in the "universe that "said attackers" are in" only when "said "simulation-existences"" are digitally depicted/portrayed as being "simulation very-severely-injured-existences". There are many different kinds of "employee-controlled bosses" that will most likely neither ""ever be a simulation-avatar that is available for being created by anyone who isn't an employee" nor "ever be a simulation-avatar that is available for being controlled by anyone who isn't an employee"".
While any "non-digital owner of "said gear"" uses "said hardware" in the form of gear that enables control of "said simulation-avatar", "said gear" copies ""said "non-digital owner's real life movements"" including "facial expressions"". "Said "non-digital owner"" has the option to either ""watch a screen to see "said "non-digital owner's simulation-avatar"" in action" or "use headgear to see "said "non-digital owner's simulation-avatar"" in action"". "Said gear" has ""a mic", buttons on controllers, and glove gear". "Said "glove gear"" lets "said "non-digital owner"" physically feel ""what is "digitally depicted/portrayed as physical"" in the simulation" via "Said "glove gear"". """Said "non-digital owner"" can feel "the sensations as ""vibrations and pressure" in particular areas of ""said "non-digital "owner's"" hands"" in accordance with "what ""said "non-digital "owner's"" hands" are "digitally depicted/portrayed as touching"" in the simulation" via" glove gear whenever ""said "non-digital "owner's"" simulation-avatar" is "digitally depicted/portrayed as touching" something "digitally depicted/portrayed as physical" in the simulation" and "parts of ""said "non-digital "owner's"" simulation-avatar's hands" are unable to move "through, past, into, and within" "said "digitally depicted/portrayed physical things"" in the simulation even if ""said "non-digital "owner's"" non-digital hands" move anywhere whereby "said simulation-avatar" would move "through, past, into, and within" "said "digitally depicted/portrayed physical thing""" if "said simulation-avatar" moves/moved overly in accordance with everywhere that ""said "non-digital "owner's"" non-digital hands" move. "While ""said "avatar's"" hand" is moving in accordance with ""said "non-digital "owner's"" non-digital hand"" but ""said "avatar's"" hand" is digitally depicted/portrayed as coming in contact with something physical, the glove gear makes ""said "non-digital "owner's"" non-digital hand"" feel quite some pressure. "Said "glove gear"" also makes "said "non-digital owner"" "feel jolts" in accordance with ""particular things that happen in the simulation" such as "if ""said "non-digital "owner's"" simulation-hand"" is slapped by a simulation-character/simulation-avatar"".
There are different "areas, universes, and rooms" in the simulation where time flows differently than all "areas, universes, and rooms" that are other than "said "areas, universes, and rooms in the simulation"". Every time that a "simulation-character or simulation-avatar" enters any one of "said "areas, universes, or rooms"", "said "simulation-character or simulation-avatar""" undergoes a quick "time speed, date, and time flow" sync whereby "said "simulation-character or simulation-avatar""" completes being synced with the "time speed, date, and time flow" of "said "areas, universes, or rooms"" and "said "simulation-character or simulation-avatar""" experiences "said "areas, universes, or rooms"" in accordance with the "time speed, date, and time flow" of "said "areas, universes, or rooms"". There are also other different "areas, universes, and rooms" in the simulation where "time speed, date, and time flow" are in sync with the "time speed, date, and time flow" of "the Earth that is outside of the digital simulation". Ways to improve experiencing the simulation is always being worked on.
Regarding all of the simulation-copies of simulation-universes that were mentioned earlier, in the simulation, the "time speed, date, and time flow" of "said "copy of "said universe""" is in sync with the "time speed, date, and time flow" of "the Earth that is outside of the digital simulation". All simulation-universes in the simulation exist separately, individually, and independently. Each one of every simulation-universe in the simulation is a unit that isn't part of any other unit. Each one of every "simulation-avatar of any "non-digital owner of "said gear""" ""uses "said hardware" in the form of gear that enables control of "said avatar"" and "are not able to enter any simulation-universe that is not in sync with the "time speed, date, and time flow" of "the Earth that is outside of the digital simulation"". "Each one of every other simulation-avatar can "enter and exit" each one of every simulation-universe in the simulation" via any one of all of the the ways that each one of all simulation-universes are connected. Each one of every digitally depicted/portrayed "simulation living-existence" that is very-severely-injured by the employees' simulation-avatars mentioned earlier doesn't cease to exist and "said "digitally depicted/portrayed "simulation living-existence""" is instantly teleported to a simulation-universe that is already particularly created for the purpose of being for any digitally depicted/portrayed "simulation living-existence" to "end up in a random location in "said universe"" upon "said "digitally depicted/portrayed "simulation living-existence""" being digitally depicted/portrayed as being a "simulation very-severely-injured-existence". "Said universe" is never-endingly nonstop ongoingly not able to be accessed by any non-digital owner of "gear that controls a simulation-avatar".
To answer your question now, your "moving and being able to move in the simulation" is almost identical to the way that you "moved and was able to move" in any of your dreams that you've had while you was asleep. Your ""observing imagery" and being able to "observe imagery" in the simulation" is almost identical to the "way that you "observed imagery" and was able to "observe imagery"" in any of your dreams that you've had while you was asleep" but are always in accordance with your simulation-avatar's ""movements in the simulation" which are only able to be in accordance with the "rules and laws" of the simulation-universe that your simulation-avatar is in". ""You will be able to control your simulation-avatar as if it is your own physical form and you'll be able to "move and do things"" via ""said avatar" in the simulation"". "The computers that are connected to "your physical form and brain"" can "send electric impulses to your brain's somatosensory cortex" to create the "sensation of touch" anywhere on your physical form. "The electric impulses that get sent to your brain" are identical to the different electric impulses that, throughout the time you've been alive, your physical form had naturally sent to your brain as various natural responses to various natural "stimuli that were outside of your physical form"". "Such electric impulses being sent to your brain" will trick your brain into ""false sensing of physical things" and ""reacting and behaving" "in accordance with" as if those electric impulses are sent to your brain due to various particular physical things"". Those electric impulses are designed by the VRC to give your brain the impression that your physical form is sensing "one or multiple" particular physical things out of various particular physical things. While you are in the simulation, the VRC's computers will always be automatically sending "the aforementioned various electric impulses" to your brain with all of "those electric impulses" designed to make you "undergo and or experience" "all of "your and your simulation-avatar's" "digitally depicted/portrayed "contact and or etcetera"" in the Simulation" "as if "the aforementioned "digitally depicted/portrayed "contact and or etcetera"" is "what you're actually non-digitally undergoing" instead of only digitally depicted/portrayed as being undergone" but such "all being in accordance with the happenings that occur in the Simulation"". "Among other things that you'll be able to "do and or experience", you will be able to undergo sensations in accordance with "what your hands are "digitally depicted/portrayed as touching"" in the simulation whenever your simulation-avatar is "digitally depicted/portrayed as touching" something "digitally depicted/portrayed as physical "things, entities, or objects" in the simulation" and your simulation-avatar won't be able to move "through, past, into, and within" "said "digitally depicted/portrayed physical "things, entities, or objects""" in the simulation unless there are "simulation-world or simulation-universe" "rules and laws" that "allow and or enable" otherwise. This is for the purpose of making the simulation, for humans who participate in deals with the VRC for the Simulation experience, seem ""as close to reality-outside-of-the-simulation as possible" but also "customizable if otherwise is preferred"."
"Whoa. That explains why I kept thinking that I might have been "saying things while I wasn't thinking about what I was saying" until "I became aware of the fact that someone was communicating something to me" via those things that was being said. You make my mental voice speak to me but even though I didn't spend any time ""thinking up" and "trying to figure out"" how to "word and articulate" "said speech". This all ends up being the reason why I never see "said speech" coming ""unless I'm ""awaiting a response" via that kind of communication"" and "also unless "due to "my anticipating that "it can happen again without my knowing when"""""."
"Yes. The mind is not able to "make and/or produce" sound, but I can use your mental voice to do a non-audio imitation of the sound of "anyone and anything" and, via your imagination, you observe "said imitation". For that reason, I use a non-audio imitation of a "very noticably different sounding voice" as the voice that "I "use your mental voice to imitate"". When it comes to "my using your imagination to acheive communication", I use "said "non-audio imitation of the noticably different voice"" as the voice that I use to "communicate via your mental voice" in order to speak to you in a way that, in my opinion, is ""much faster" and "much more comfortable"" than a number of the other ways that I can "use your imagination to acheive communication via"."
A while more passes as Eric and the Entity discuss many things.
"An avatar will notify you when it is 9:00pm on "the Earth that is outside of the digital simulation", every day of "the Earth that is outside of the digital simulation". In the simulation, you will always be able to make your simulation-avatar hold its pinky finger pressed to its bellybutton nonstop for 60 seconds whereby on the 60th second of its doing that, everything that is being "sent to your brain via BCI" will stop being sent for 8 nonstop hours. You should be able to experience an extremely many years in your simulation-universe until you finally start feeling tired or exhausted, since one day of "the Earth that is outside of the digital simulation" is many years in the simulation, but I'm not sure how quick you would get mentally exhausted. During said 8 hours of ""each computer that is related to your BCI" not sending anything to your brain", the simulation ""will be unaffected" and "will still be running in the identical way that it was before "said simulation-avatar" notifies you of the 9:00pm time"", however, your simulation-avatar's motion will be frozen until upon completion of the 8th hour in which many years will have passed in your simulation-universe. You can use, via your simulation-avatar, "said "belly button method"" whenever you want. Every time that you use "said "belly button method"", upon completion of the 8th hour, "the source of everything that was being sent to your brain" is automatically again utilized to "send plenty things to your brain via BCI" again. ""Things are back to being "sent to your brain via BCI"" and "your simulation-avatar's motion is unfrozen""."
""The Simulation only ""exists and functions" due to human-made technology". The Simulation only exists on human-made computer technology devices. Regarding "what" "all humans and/or "all that are produced by any human"" are to "human-made technology and the simulation", "all humans and/or "all that are produced by any human"" are physically only able to be external stimuli to "human-made technology and the simulation". ""Musical and/or articulated" sound" has ongoingly never been proven to actually be produced by any human brain, and if "such produced-by-human-brain sound" "has and/or had" ever happened, human-made technology currently ongoingly never "has and/or had" detected "such produced-by-human-brain sound". "Any metaphysical existence "that or who" ever originated independently", if "any metaphysical existence "that or who" ever originated independently" ever "exists and/or existed" whatsoever, "is not nor ever was" any part of ""what" the Simulation, human-made technology, and/or computer technology" "function via". "Any metaphysical existence "that or who" ever originated independently", if "any metaphysical existence "that or who" ever originated independently" ever "exists and/or existed" whatsover, "is not nor ever was" any part of "what the Simulation, human-made technology, and/or computer technology" utilizes. Regarding all living humans, per human, a human's mind is always directly resulting from that human's active brain and that human's active brain's neuronal activity are always "what" produces that human's thoughts (mental doings such as mental speech). """"Since there are "speech, music, "lyrics that you've heard before", and/or other things" that may come to your mind at "any and/or every" """time frame" that you utilize" to ""analyze something", "imagine something", and/or "think thoughts""", and since the Simulation utilizes brain-computer interface (BCI) whereby analyzing "brain activity" "results in "brain data" that can reveal "what a human's mind produces (such as "when and/or what" words are being spoken in that human's mental speech)" and/or that can reveal a "human brain's intelligent intentional conveyings (such as mentally asking oneself what the current ""hour and minute" time" of the day it is)""", "there is """a feature" of "the Simulation interface (or the ""your "interfacing with the Simulation" via the Simulation interface"")"" whereby"" your making your simulation-avatar cross any of your simulation-avatar's "fingers and/or toes", but only "while" you're making your simulation-avatar cross any of your simulation-avatar's "fingers and/or toes", "enables via the "aforementioned feature"" solely "all of """what seems like sound produced by your mind" but is actually imitation of sound/audio" that your mind produces" (such as speech)" to be """automatically "relayed in a computer-produced form" by "the ""computer technology" that is ""utilized to create the Simulation" and "that the "Simulation utilizes" for the Simulation to be possible""""" immediately whenever your mind produces such"", but ""all of the "aforementioned """what seems like sound produced by your mind" but is actually imitation of sound/audio" that your mind produces" (such as speech)"" that get relayed by "the aforementioned "computer technology"""" solely get relayed in ways that are "observable in ways that closely resemble physical reality outside of the simulation" except that "all of such that gets relayed" will seem like it's being ""communicated by your simulation-avatar" in ways identical to "how a "non-digital living individual" would be able to ""communicate such" outside of the simulation" in a way that is "non-psychic and not technology-related""""". This gives you a bit of mind-privacy regarding your experience related to the Simulation. "The "default configuration of the Simulation", so far, is that ""your imaginings are not observable to ""any other" "who or that" controls a "simulation-avatar of the Simulation""" nor is """any other" "who or that" controls a "simulation-avatar of the Simulation"" able to observe ""anything about you" other than ""your simulation-avatar's movements" and/or "your simulation-avatar's movement-based interactions"""""" only "while you "have "the aforementioned "relay feature"" not enabled""""". Before you complete this application, you can always choose to change "how your, your simulation-avatar's, and/or your mind's "communication to others" will work in the simulation", "but only ""methods that can work" via the limited methods ""available and possible" with the "limited and available" resources that we can utilize" are what you can choose""""."
Eric is asked by the AI if he'd like to continue with the worldbuilding.
He takes a moment to decide. "Yes."
Actual real custom signals are being sent to my actual real brain and by that happening, particular "thoughts and/or imaginings" are produced by my actual real brain and/or I am able to ""experience "experiences such as smell, taste, pain, and/or etc"" "via my brain interpreting those custom signals as such experiences"". Those "thoughts and/or imaginings" entail "moving imagery, information, and etc" which all entail the "imagery, information, and etc" of the Simulation that I'll "experience via all of this". My "thoughts and/or imaginings" are never digital, but I'll be controlling a digital avatar none-the-less. There is ""a Simulation via actual real computer-devices" that actual real people are keeping maintenance regarding" via actual real people ""typing on actual real computer-related devices" and "using and/or utilizing" actual real computer-related devices".
At a worldbuilding domain in the VRC's Simulation, Eric commensed to create his own Simulation-universe. Regarding ""the basis preset (default configuration) that Eric chose" to begin modifying, adding things/creations to, and/or removing things from", "the "aforementioned basis preset" that Eric chose" is as identical/3d to/as the "non-digital universe that contains the computer that this simulation is running on" as this simulation can possibly digitally depict/portray. All of Eric's Universe's "laws and rules" simultaneously begin in never-ending nonstop ongoing effect starting from the millisecond that Eric first controls his own simulation-character/simulation-avatar in Eric's Universe in this simulation.
Right after Eric completed the aforementioned worldbuilding process at the worldbuilding domain in the VRC's Simulation, ""the "basis preset"" regarding Eric's universe" was running for 14 minutes, ""it is 12:37pm on Earth in Eric's universe" and "Eric is now in control of his character/avatar"". He notices that ""it's like he can see through his own eyes" and "he's even able to undergo sensations/etc in this simulation"", but ""his body" and "the whole feel of it"" is very different. It beats the hell out of ""dealing with whatever is physically wrong with his non-digital body" and "not being able to even enjoy what non-simulation life has to offer"". This'll have to do. Eric breaks into a run.
(The one who Eric named "the Entity" is someone who has "a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) implant that is able to "obtain information/data pertaining to ""said "someone's"" thoughts/mind"" via ""accessing ""said ""someone's"" brain""" and "interpreting/translating ""said "someone's"" brain activity"""". That BCI helps "said someone" calculate extremely faster, "lets "said someone" have "something like a conscious voice assistant (similar to a "device's voice assistant" such as a smartphone's voice assistant)" living in ""said "someone's"" mind" except it isn't a living thing", and that "something like a conscious voice assistant (similar to a "device's voice assistant" such as a smartphone's voice assistant)" is able to always use "what that BCI "is/was able to ""interpret and translate" and/or "is currently "interpreting and translating"""" from the data/information that it obtained/obtains from ""said "someone's"" brain"". Currently, when it comes to "interpreting and translating" anyone's brain/mind activity, the most capability that the most capable "brain-computer-interface "from before now to right now"" can/has achieve(d) is only the ability to "interpret and translate" only "much of anyone's brain/mind activity but not all of "said "anyone's brain/mind activity""". Currently, ""all brain-computer-interfaces are not able to differentiate "memory of non-fiction" from any of the multiple things (such as information) that "said BCI" obtains from any brain" and "a person discovering what someone else remembers relies on ""methods identical to as though all brain-computer-interfaces didn't exist", such as ""observation and deduction" if that deduction is ""100% accurate" or "only partially accurate""" and etc."". "Said someone (in this case, that person is who Eric named "the Entity", and is "said someone")" can wirelessly connect to "the computers that Eric is connected to" and the BCI allows "said someone" ""to be connected to the internet" and "to instantly have access to information on the internet"". "Said "conscious voice assistant"" can use "the "Thought-to-text and Text-to-speech" aspect of the BCI Technology" that allows "said "conscious voice assistant"" to translate, into words, from a person who has the BCI connected to their brain, the calculation of ""what that person (in this case, that person is who Eric named "the Entity", and is "said someone") wants to express" before said someone performs "the later part of said calculation that allows "said someone" to articulate, into mental words, what "said someone" wants to verbally convey"". "Said someone" is also capable of instantly knowing the translations, done by "BCI using the translation method identical to the aforementioned translation method except the translations "can also be regarding what "those whose brains are connected to the computers that "said someone" is connected to" "are trying"/want to convey" instead of the translations "only being regarding what "said someone (the one who Eric named "the Entity")" "is trying"/wants to convey"". This can only be done due to those computers both ""having access to" and "obtaining/interpreting/translating"" those people's "brain/mind activity" data. This is how "the one who Eric named "the Entity"" can both "know ""what Eric is trying to finish speaking" before Eric even delivers the general idea of what Eric is trying to finish speaking" in speech form" and "respond about ""what Eric is trying to finish speaking" before Eric even delivers the general idea of what Eric is trying to finish speaking" in speech form".
In the human brain, neurons release brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters, which produce these electrical signals in neighboring neurons. Electrical signals propagate like waves to thousands of neurons, leading to the formation of thoughts. One theory explains that thoughts are generated when/by the firing/discharging of neurons. Neurons are not thoughts per se, although neurons are necessary for the thought generation process. One could perhaps try to say that the "pattern/discharge" of neural firing/discharging is the physical form of thought.
If neurons are not fired/discharged, there is no thought. Without "firing/discharging neurons," thought does not exist. If "someone" has a certain technology, such as a "wireless technology device with wireless capabilities" and it is located in the head/brain of "another person" and "it can be used to send specific patterns of neurons that are associated with specific thoughts" and "those specific patterns are known to be associated with those specific thoughts" and if those specific neural patterns are sent to the brain of "that person" and "those neurons fire/discharge", ""then 'communication' can be done 'by only 'imagination'", but only by using such technology (e.g. wireless 'technology' with wireless capabilities) that is inside the head/brain of 'that person')".
If each person has a different way of thinking, their brain neurons can perhaps fire/discharge in different patterns, and "if the "end result" of these different patterns is the same, are these results recognized/understood by "all humans who are forced to achieve them" (if someone else's brain was introduced into your firing/discharging neural patterns, but those patterns are forced to occur in the brain of "that person")"?
"If the neural firing/discharging patterns of different people's brains" all have the same end result, this could mean that neural firing/discharging in these patterns "cause" all those different people to produce the same thought. I hypothesize that the aforementioned "end result (the thought)" will be recognized/understood by those who are forced to perform the same neural firing/discharging pattern in their brains.
When something is experienced, the "action potential" of the sensory neuron is affected by an incoming signal. This input affects the entire neural network. Can these incoming signals trigger "these neurons" to fire/discharge in a pattern?
They can do this, and this is called "entrainment," in which field oscillations can entrain the firing/discharging of a group of neurons. In addition, some neurons are configured in such a way that they adopt a certain firing pattern according to their membrane potential, which can be independent of input.
Hypothesis: identical copies of "neuronal firing/discharging" and identical copies of their neural firing/discharging patterns (spatial location and all) = identical results in each different human brain.)
All of the aforementioned "took place"/happened outside-of-all-Simulations "except that, regarding all of the aforementioned, "all interactions starting from "when Eric started interacting with the one who Eric named "the Entity""" "took place"/happened in/at a "domain in the VRC's Simulation that is not a world nor a universe"".
