New page wikitext, after the edit (new_wikitext) | 'A possible explanation of the Otherkin phenomenon can be drawn from the scientific reconciliation of monotheistic descriptions of how the universe is created. It is well known that the Book of Genesis doesn't tally too well with paleontology. Rather, it can be taken as a description of God's experience as he creates revisions v1 to v6 of the universe, where each revision is a complete four-dimensional object sitting on the workbench. The inhabitants perceive mundane time as one of those dimensions. But there is also one or more dimensions of time in which the Creator works, devising different versions.
Humans in normal mundane life exist almost entirely in the mundane dimension of time, one in which more than four billion years ago the planet condensed from dust. Memory carries information forward along that dimension relentlessly from low entropy to high. But they do not live entirely so - it is an illusion. Mundane time is simply a static snapshot of a process of creation in which, like wayward Adam and Eve, everyone can play a role. In mundane time there is one past, one present, and also just one future, as those who have suffered precognition can warn. There is no way to change anything really in mundane time, and with no chance to change things, there is no true experiencing them either. The future is fixed and static ''because'' physics is indeterminate, which is what allows (and requires) two versions of the universe separated by a small revision to align. Free will is a consequence of ''short term'', ''controlled'' precognition, because it creates temporal paradoxes in which more than one solution is valid. Send a number back to the past, read the number, and send it back - the number could be anything. ''(Aberrations of this mechanism, though impressive, are dangerous in that they damage free will)''
Man is created in God's image, which is to say, his ''imagination'', and people of all sorts and varieties exist only if they are saved from one revision to the next. Some are reworked; perhaps some are merged, duplicated, even split. <small>(If so, that is a process distinct from that imposed by errors in the current, entirely mundane simulation of a past Earth which result from the not-so-divine authorities who came up with this ill-advised experiment relying too closely on spy databases that the real inhabitants took every opportunity to subvert)</small>
The process of introspection described in the [http://www.elenari.net/Elenari/Elenarifaq4.html Elenari FAQ] represents the use of the human imagination, which is the one thing in the cosmos that can penetrate the barriers between revisions, recollecting what the person was like in other versions of the cosmos. Therefore, people can perceive themselves in antediluvian roles in a world of unicorns and dragons (or in the case of the Gae'ari, their roles ''during'' the Flood, when the Earth was partly or entirely a water world for all its history)
There is no telling how many parallel dimensions there really are - the evolution of the universe might be as step by step as the days of Genesis or more complex than any project development on Github. These aren't even physical dimensions, but ''conceptual'' dimensions in which the Creator works, so not even the most audacious predictions of supersymmetry theorists have any real relevance. Yet in their imaginations, people seek inspiration from the creator who imagined all, and with it, find the strength and the ideas to move forward and survive the mundane world.' |
