Actually, reality, if we know how reality works, the code of reality, reality has a first person.

We have a first person.

There's a first person of reality all the way down.

So Bertrand Russell, that you cited, talks about this proto-interiority, this experience of first person aliveness that he says probably exists at the atomic or molecular level.

There's this first person, White had called it prehension, this alive sense of desire, meaning all the way down, it's not mechanical.

It doesn't go from being alive to now.

Now it's Lego blocks.

No, there's a continuum of first person all the way up and all the way down.

So there's an aliveness.

The hills are alive and the sound of music.

Right.

But even even the hills are not just the vegetation.

The whole thing is alive.

So it's a it's a living world.

It's a living universe.

Third person.

It's a coherent universe.

Everything fits in with everything, right?

There's this vast system of interlocking and interpenetrating pieces, right?

A vast interconnectivity, vast intimacy in which everything fits with everything in all of the mathematical codes over dazzling billions and billions of galaxies.
