Reply to everyone.
What we experience is not the physical world but a simulation of it by
our brain. So, even if we assume that there exists a "primary" physical
world, we're not really living in one, we're at most living in a World
that's simulated inside it.
The fact that our primary experiences derive from a simulation allows
magicians to earn a living. If you walk into your living room, what you
see, what you experience is not the living room as it exists right now,
it is almost entirely a reconstruction based on cached data from your
memory.
Real time processing of data would be computationally infeasible, and we
need to keep in mind that the brain evolved from a simple nervous
system. In each step in the evolution where this became more complex,
there would never be a system that could render a precise picture of the
World, it was only ever about getting to a better response giving the
inputs. And in principle all inputs from now and some time ago can
contain useful information.
So, this way we ended up with a brain that ends up simulating the World,
the simulation is what we are (the set of everything we experience is an
OM that defines us).
