But that's how I think about it.

So you actually have an incredible amount of time in a small volume of space.

That's what you are as an evolved object.

At least that's sort of my current thinking with this theory that we're developing and how we're trying to test the transition to life.

And so where are those things coming from?

They're coming from the fact that you are an architecture that's deep in time and you have all of this internal space in you that's temporal in size, not spatial in size that you can draw from to create.

Yes.

You're looking at all their traces of time and you're doing it over time and that's becoming part of your architecture and time and all of that structure is still in you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

yes and you're putting it all into your head we're just like bundles i you know i think about time and information kind of being the same thing but we're just all of that that causation bundled up in like these small we we look small but we're not small yeah so sometimes i you know i have this visualization of earth as like the largest thing in the universe that we know of which is in terms of possibility space or how much time is embedded in the current structure of the earth so if you could like if you could do a zoom out of like the entire universe

You know, and you could look at like space, you know, assuming there's no aliens out there and you look at Earth, you know, like Earth is giant as far as like the amount of stuff that can be made here and how much history is embodied in every object.

It's like it's just this huge causal structure in this like.

And I think I think we're representations of that physics.

And that's one of the reasons that we have this kind of perplexing feature of like.

these things seem abstract well they're not they're not abstract like they don't they don't look like they're in physical space like knock on wood on the table but the table is like an object that has like four billion years of history in it so it's like the physicality of the table is mostly in time not space and that's true I think for us as living things

Look at the moon.

I know.

And we get eclipses.

So much of human history is dictated by the moon.
