Why do I think #2...I keep trying to write my reasoning out, but it is very complex and spiritual, I'll keep trying, but for now that's all I can get out.


Okay, since compounding seems to be the easiest way to solve this, in the realm of time, the 4th dimension, there are 4 dimensions of sentient consciousness governing individual memory and knowledge. Relating through Time as a medium.



So, like on Bill Nye, "Please, consider the following:"

Consider the following, time is perceived in simultaneous strands of consciousness: Sensory, cognitive, computative and individual. (I'm adding a fourth)

1D. To the superficial, sense driven consciousness, time is right in front of us, a series of things that happen one, then another, and another. Sort of like a scatter plot.

2D. Then, there's the conscious memory, seeing the string and order of the events while acknowledging the time we were semiconscious of, passing by us, and away from us. More like a line graph.


3D. And ultimately, under the frontal lobe asking, "what if?", is the instinctive (primitive) brain. That, when compiled from the other two, acknowledges all that happened, and simultaneously sees all the memorable past, and plans ahead.

You ask what could have happened, planning ahead possibly for improvement, whether conscious of it or not. This is the computative mind: the frontal lobe, the fact checker, problem solver's perception of Time (and reality, but that's different)




4D. The fourth in the process is... abstract... poignant... poetic, and hardly simplistic when/if explained scientifically (empirically, if you will). So, we review by taking my graph metaphor:

1D was a scatter plot (dots of data),
2D is a line graph (dots connected by a line)
3D, is a probability simulation, all possible lines are graphed at the same time, making a landscape of what is most or least possible as determined by certain peramaters and variables. It is like a snapshot of the ocean.

4D is hard to explain to non-ambient beings, mostly because it is simply out past your blind spot, but also because the one explaining can't help but talk in circles.

But if you can imagine that it is somewhat like a combination of the three previous ones, where the frontal lobe sees the past and future in a snapshot of all possibilities, chang the closest word I can come to is...



fun, and chemical reactions.

That's as far as I can get.

In a universe of numbers up to infinity, humanity can only count to four.
