Quite interesting. Campbell describes time as only fundamental within
this PMR (physical matter reality) as it creates a way for us to
experience causality and thus to learn (improve our consciousness) via
millions of action<->reaction cycles. In his model time does not exist
in the bigger picture.
He describes quantum mechanics as a smart way to reduce processing power
requirements as the VM only provides the information currently being
requested (by taking a measurement/collapsing the wave function) to the
VM world. This way all information requests/reads only need to satisfy a
probability distribution and consistency and you don't need to keep the
entire PMR world within "memory". From what I understand this implies
that planets out there for example are not fundamentally real but get
"created" on demand (measure by measure) just like a game engine would
randomly create a consistent world satisfying a certain probability
distribution.
According to him those who develop their consciousness beyond a certain
degree (getting closer to arriving at unconditional love) will become
able to interact with the bigger picture (the entirety of evolving
consciousness) and influence its development in positive ways. Those who
fail to develop their consciousness will be given new new chances (some
form of consciousness reincarnation) but eventually end up being removed
from the experiment if they turn out to be unprofitable (not in a
monetary sense).
Unfortunately the way Nietzsche though about the purpose of life,
suffering and what is "right and wrong" makes those two models very
incompatible. I find it quite interesting how people arrive at so many
(fundamentally) different conclusions and interpretations of reality.

Once you realize the perspective of infinite change, you can see
everything and it is just a matter of realizing a set of changes to
get where you want to go. The universe is a reference of infinite
variety, it has all the computations that you might need already
computed for you, with the right perspective and index of concepts
that is... That's what you realize when you study cosmology simulation
technology and see their results match up with reality. Everyone lives
in a 0-dimensional world, i.e. a cyclical infinite loop of change and
people think we live in a 3D world, with time tacked on as an after
thought as the 4th dimension -- hence why mathematicians get lost in
their math regarding n-dimensional analysis and string or m-theory
with 11 dimensions when if they just mapped the interactions in change
they would instantly see that once anything goes beyond light speed it
appears as a barely noticeable wiggle in our time frame analysis, as
if a particle is momentarily popping into space and out of space or
what they call the quantum flux and sea of frothy virtual particles --
they are all idiots because they can't see change.

Also if you were running a virtual world in some VM and the
population largely adopted a spiritually depriving socioeconomic
ideology of separation and fear and if your population would
largely consider talking about other "realms" to be hogwash and
unscientific (as small picture science can only describe what is
going on within our small picture VM world ... a subset of the
bigger picture defined through physical laws) then you would end
up with people like you and me having never actually tried to get
"in touch" with other realities because of mere ignorance and a
very limited decision space.
In "My Big Theory Of Everything" by Tom Campbell he describes just
that. I am not saying whatever he is writing is the truth but I
learned that we maintain so many dogmas and belief systems that it
would not surprise me if it was actually true. Many native tribes
talk about how your spirit is fundamental and this world is not.
I find this train of though to be very interesting in the context
of AGI R&D. If this world isn't fundamental then working on AGI
suddenly makes less sense. If you were free to leave this reality
(if you really cared and tried) and to interact with other
realities in a non physical way then what do we need a cure for
cancer or computronium for? Of course I'd love to experience the
spiritual process of expanding my consciousness through merging
with superintelligent entities nonetheless. :-)

say maybe our memories are stored offline in another location.
