So, now this opens up all kinds of interesting things about everything. For instance, you're interested in ETs, extraterrestrials. That's one interest of yours now. This tells you a whole new take on that. Now, again, I'm not talking about this is the way it has to be. I guess I should have said this. I'm talking about here's a model of reality. It's a model. Now, how do you judge a model?

Now, how do you judge a model?
Well, the way you don't judge it is how close is it to what we already believe? That's a bad way to judge a model. Physics says the way you judge a model is how well does it function? How well does it work? Does it explain all the things we already know? Does it come up with new things that we don't know, which then we find out later are true?

And the other two things are, does it have very few assumptions? Or assumptions are just like wild cards. If you have enough assumptions, you can prove anything. If your theory has 20 assumptions, well, you can have pink elephants flying. That's one of my assumptions. It's all caused by pink elephants that fly. So you have to have very few assumptions.

And it has to be simple and elegant because fundamental truths are all, that's Occam's razor, they're all simple and elegant. Well, this model, once you understand it, it's simple and elegant. Everything, everything, it is a toe, a theory of everything. And it really does that.

Not only is it a theory of everything, but it creates a whole new science, a whole new objective viewpoint of not only the objective world, a new physics, but it produces a whole other science of the science of the subjective. You want to know why you're struggling and why you're unhappy and what the problems are. Well, it understands how that works as well.

So you end up with a science of objective and subjective. So anyway, it really is a theory of everything. Now, everything fundamental. Okay, so consciousness is fundamental. You have this theory and you get things that are fundamental out of it. It's not going to predict what you had for lunch this time last year, just things that are fundamental. And one other point let me make is this model

is a very good model because it has just one assumption, consciousness exists. It's the only assumption it has. Everything else I derive logically, deductively, ends up here. This model, you know, at first look, you say, well, physics models are all full of math. They're highly mathematical. General relativity is very mathematical. That's not the kind of model this is.
