Image 4.1: Is the human mind analog or digital - an old School Analog Recording, a phonograph player
In the days before computers, we used to listen to our favorite music on record players, like this one. Now, all music is encoded and stored in memory.
A fundamental difference between an analog (record player) and digital recording, is that analog recordings fade over time. Digital recordings remain pristine.
Image 4.2: Artists rendition of a closeup of the retina of the eye
This is an artist's rendition of the lining of the eye, called the retina. Light strikes the receptive field, where it is encoded by the rod and cone cells, and sent out the optic nerver to the brain.
An age-old question is whether the human mind is digital or analog. By looking closely at the cells, and encoding process of the retina, we can draw the conclusion that the mind is digital in nature.
Image 4.3: A diagram showing the surrounding environment being captured onto the retina
This is an artist's view of the environment being encoded in the retina of the eye. The 'pixels' of the retina pick up light, encode it into electrical impulses, and send it out the optic nerve.
The retina of the eye shows a strikely resemblence to the CCD of a digital camera. Here we show someone looking at an element in the environment, and how it is absorbed by the cells of the eye.
Image 4.4: An artists concept of vision - the eye, optic nerve, and the brain
This is an artists rendition of the eye, retina, optic nerve, and visual cortex. The closer you examine it, the more apparent it becomes that it is digital in nature.
Here we show the human mind, specifically the sense of vision. Light enters the eye, gets encoded into electric impulses in the retina, sent out the optic nerve, and assembled into a full 3D model in the visual cortex.
Image 4.5: A comprehensive diagram of how the outside world is captured into the mind.
An artist's diagram of how the five steps, showing how the outside world gets absorbed thropugh the eye, encoded in the retina, and sent out the optic nerve. Finally, the outside world is created in the visual cortex.
The illustration shows how the human mind manifests the outside world. Most people believe the outside world exists outside the mind. However, this diagram shows the actual reality is created in the visual cortex - inside the miind.
Image 4.6: A simplifeid, closeup diagram of how the outside world comes in through the retiina, sent to the brain, and is manifested in the mind.
This is a simplified daigram of how the world outside goes through wiring of the brain, to become reality inside memory.
This diagram simplifies the sense of visual to the absolute essentials. It is in the visual cortext, on the right side of the diagram, where we actuall 'see' the outside world. The outisde world is a 3D model in memory. It is that internal 3D model that is reality realized.
Image 4.7: A geometric model of how people generally regard the environment as being outside the mind
This is ai illustration, based on a 3D model, that shows how most people thnik about the outside world. Most people regard the outside world as being around them. The think of the outside world as outside (external) of the brain.
This is a small gathering of people. Here we focus on just one individual. His mind is shown as the small the dot. This small red dot is the only thing that they think of as being inside the brain. Everything else, the entire outside world, is thought of as outside the brain.
Image 4.8: A newer model within 3D software showing the environment is actually existing inside the mind
After working with the concepts and postulates of Proof of Afterlife, this is how you envision the outside world. Enlightened people come to realize that the outside world actually exists inside the mind. This is possible because the outside world is created inside the visual cortext and stored in memory.
In the previous image, we showed what was inside the mind as a small red dot inside the man's head. In this view, we show that small red dot has expanded to become the environment. It is the entire environment that exists inside the mind, not just the small red dot of the previous image.
Image 4.9: A diagram showing how the outside world is created in the visual cortex
This is a diagram showing how the outside world exists inside the mind. In this view, there are four steps to creating reality. The fourth, and final step, is an internally resident 3D model of reality is presented to the mind.
Here are the four steps showing how the outside world becomes your surrounding reality. It is more involved that people think. The outside world comes in through the senses, made up of raw data. Inside the visual cortex, the raw data gets assembled into a meaningful 3D model, much like that made using 3D software. Then that model is stored into memory. It is at the moment of storing the model is when we experience it. It's not the outside world we experience. It is the internal 3D model stored in memory.
Image 4.10: A diagram showing the data flow, from the retina, to visual cortex, and finally to the mind
This image is another model of how the outside world gets encoded into the mind, sent to the visual cortex where reality is assembled, then presented to the mind as a virtual reality headset.
This image builds upon the concept of the former image. It shows the six steps, where the outside world goes through before we realize it. The final step is as if our internal 3D model of reality gets projected onto our personal headset. What you are viewing, when you look at the outside world, is your memory.
Image 4.11: A diagram showing the environment being captured into the mind, then built in the visual cortex.
Here is another view showing how the mind captures reality. Light strikes the lens of the camera. Like a CCD, it takes this light and encodes it into electrical impulses. These electrical impulses get sent, via wires, to the visual cortex. It is in the visual cortext where reality is assembled. It is here (2) where we perceive the outside world.
This is a stylized diagrram of a person looking into their back yard. The scene gets captured onto the lens, or in this case the cornia of the eye, and sent to the visual cortext where reality is created. The major difference between reality being outside the mind, versus inside the mind - as that when it's inside the mind it can be stoed in memory.
Image 4.12: An artist's concept showing reality being filed into memory, along the time axis
This illustration shows how each moment becomes a memory (3D model) that gets stored in the mind. Our awareness always stays in the present moment. All the while memories of present moment as being stored in memory.
Here we show how each moment of life gets stored into memory. As a new moment unfolds, awareness is there. Then that moment moves into memory, making room, and a new moment unfolds. Life is a constant process of creating and saving moments as we move through life. Past moments exist, in full pristine glory. The only difference between past and present is awareness resides in the present. The actual quality of the two moments is exactly the same.
Image 4.13: An artists rendition of past moments of reality being filed away in memory. Only the present moment is active (vivid).
This is another view of moments being absorbed into memory as we move through life. Awareness stays on the left side of the diagram, as show by the red cross. After experiencing a moment, it moves into memory. Memories of moment stack into memory creating a realm of 4D space-time.l
Each plane in this diagram represents an entire surrounding space. The current surrounding space is shown on the left. It is in this space is where we reside. Each living moment, surrounding space and everything in it, gets absorbed into memory. Memory is flawless, so storing each moment of life results in a 4D space-time continuum.
Image 4.14: An artistss rendition all the moments in life being assembled into a vast 4D realm called a time-space continuum.
Here we show a space-time continuum. On the one side closest to us, is the present moment. Stetching back, to the right, it goes all the way back to conception - our first moment. Inside the continuum is everything you have ever experienced.
At the left side of the illustration, is a red dot called awareness. This is our current point of view. The left face of the diagram is a plane. This represents our current environment. So we have a point of 0D awarensss, surrounded by 3D space. The first plane in, near the present, is the memory of that moment. The entire diagram as an assemblence of all the 3D moments of life, from now to conception. This space-time contains everything we ever experienced. It is inside us now, just waiting to be unveiled to us.
Image 4.15: Magical XOR Logic Gate has memory perfecting qualities
In an XOR Gate, if both inputs are ON or both inputs are OFF, the gate is off. If only one input is on, the gate is ON.
An XOR Gate is an arrangement of four NAND gates, such that if only one input is ON, the gate if OFF. Otherwise it is ON.
Image 4.16: XOR the data from two drives onto a third drive
To protect against memory loss, use three drives in a set. Take drive one and two, the XOR the data onto drive three.
The logic table on the left shows how the data from drive one and two are XORed together. The result is written to drive three.
Image 4.17: If drive two is lost, you can rebuild the data by XORing drives one and three
Here we have an arrangement of three drives. Then, without warning, drive two goes down and its data is lost
To recover the data from lost drive two, we XOR the data from drive one and drive three, and write is to drive two. Then the data on drive two is restored.
Image 4.18: If any one of the three drives is lost, you can rebuild it by XORing the other two
The magic of the XOR process is that you can lose any drive without warning and restore perfect memory.
In this case, we lose the data on drive three. We can still rebuild the memory by XORin the data on drives one and two.
Image 4.19: When a drive fails, you can put new hardware in place, then rebuild the data using XOR
An additional beneift of XOR memory protection is that we can replace the defective hardware, the rebuild the memory perfectly.
In the data-center, entire memory drives are lost without warning. Yet they can be rebuilt perfect as though nothing has happened. It is not a fragil system.
Image 4.20: An artists rendition of the environment, with respect to conscious awareness, using a computer for clarity of concept.
We are using a computer to illustrate the relationship between awareness and memory. In this view, awareness is the tiny dot at the center. Awareness is only the datawords that reside inside the processor, being acted upon at this moment. The surrounding cloud is all the memory of the computer, reachable by the processor on one clock cycle.
The human memory/awareness relationship is much like the computer processor/memory relationship. Awareness, represented by the processor, actual on a small, minute portion of the data. Memory, on the other hand, is all the memory in the computer. Thus awareness is only aware of a few dataword, while memory is aware of everything.
Image 4.21: An illustration of how a computer could absorb reality, one moment at a time, to store all moments of life.
Here we show the same processor/memory model that we showed in the previous image. However, in this view, we take the entire 3D model and save it into memory. We store each moment, completely on each cycle of the clock. This way we take 3D space and turn it into 4D space-time.
If we image ourself as this computer, what is happening is that we are storing all surrounding memory into long-term memory, on each cycle of the clock. What we end up with is an entire 4D realm, made up of everything from each moment of life, assembled into a vast time-space continuum. Each person carries with them a universe of unlimited time and space, within memory. This vast realm lies in wait throughout our lives. Then, on the last moment of life, this realm gets unleased. Awareness, which was formally a tiny dot in the center of the present moment, becomes unfurled to become unlimited time and space. Awareness goes everywhere, unlimited in dimension and duration.
