It hits another plateau. It's this one big monolithic consciousness now that has thought of just about everything that it can think of. It's because it's just one thing. And it realizes that in order to grow further, I need to break off pieces of myself and give them independent free will.

And now, we hadn't discussed free will up to this time, but our little unit that I started with, that simple thing that was binary, had to have free will. It had to be able to choose between an A or a B or a 1 or a 0. So free will was that it could freely choose which one to bring up. So anyway, so it realizes that it has to do this. Well, our cells, you know, basically did the same kind of thing.

They had to split. And each one was an independent cell that now had to cooperate. So it said, I need to split. So it did. It created a bunch of virtual machines. That's what we are. We're one of those virtual machines. That got it off of its plateau because now these virtual machines have their own free will and The sewers can say, all right, everybody line up. Here's what we're going to do next.

And they can go, eh, don't feel like it, boss. I'm going fishing. They can do their own thing. Now you have a bunch of different perspectives on things, a bunch of different attitudes. And the various pieces didn't all go through the same process. you know, didn't all go through the same process. They all have their own processes, making their own choices in their own way.

So now you're getting a much richer set of possibilities that you had when it was one monolithic thing. All right, now this whole set now, this whole thing is growing up with its subset pieces, is what I'm calling the larger consciousness system. And the first virtual reality, and a virtual reality is simply a rule set. It says, here's the rules.

Everybody that obeys these rules, then they're part of this reality because they can share things. The first virtual reality was protocols for language, for talking. So the system creates that. All these sub-pieces can communicate with each other. They have syntax. They have definition. So they can talk. So now you've got this big chat room. It's a good metaphor.

And all these subsets and the main parent, you know, is still there. And they have this communication. Well, that creates a lot more opportunities for growth, but that also stalls out because the way the system works, its whole point is to lower its entropy.
