While visiting my folks in Florida last week, I woke and bolted upright from my bed at 1 AM on a Wednesday. It was all so suddenly clear. I got up, found a pencil, and wrote in the dark (on what turned out to be a Skip-BO scoresheet):
- Consciousness is a locality phenomenon
- Consciousness is warped by gravity – an illusion of locality in the manifold
- Reality is a manifold of warped substance
- Consciousness is the thing that is warped by gravity (mass in locality)
I no longer feel the gravitas of meaning therein. But at the time it seemed genius.
