Wonder, Dimensions & Agency (or Free Will) in a Simulation

Thinking "extra" dimensions means parallel universes that exist outside our physical existence yet bound by the same physics in their own universe may be the greatest blunder of science fiction.

Parallel universes don't exist.

"Extra" dimensions do. It's about perspective.

I'm not a physicist (obviously.) I am a thinker. And as a thinker I can only think within the bounds of my imagination. There is no such thing as original thought, so having ideas presented to me that spark my imagination in new ways is critical-  and for scientists too.

Because science starts with imagination; it starts with a question. But before the question comes sight. You can not question what you can not 'see' in some way. All sight requires imagination. Our conciousness creates realities- or dimemsions (unseen & not physical, but real.)

*Wonder is the source of all intelligence. (*denotes an idea in infancy.)

Wonder is not simply imagining. Wonder isn't always concious. Wonder is a process. Wonder is intellegence in progress.

The opposite of this wonder is certainty; absolute finite rule of process that achieves an organized predicted outcome.

Ironically science has become the opposite of wonder.

Back to dimemsions:

"Parallel universes" aren't "real" but they do exist. It's a paradox. They exist in wonder. They exist in thought. They exist in dreams.

They exist to give us agency in a physical existence where there is none. A paradox: agency in a "simulation."

We live in a Choose Your Own Adventure book. All of the paths have been written but we get to choose one. Dimensions beyond our percieved universe allow this agency (or free will) even when all other options are off the table and our path is pre-determined.

We can still access all the other possible choices of our actions through wonder, and doing so we access other dimemsions & "universes" beyond the bounds of physics. Because wonder isn't bound by certainty.

This is the design.
