sparkling like a star in our hand...
and melting like a snowflake.”

Reality as Information: A Theory of Consciousness Clusters and Reality Rendering

 What if our physical reality isn't fundamental, but rather a rendering of pure information? Like a cosmic video game where consciousness itself acts as the rendering engine, converting raw data into the reality we experience.

This idea emerged while contemplating quantum mechanics, particularly the double-slit experiment. When particles are observed, they behave differently than when unobserved. The fascinating part isn't just that observation changes behavior - it's that even the mere possibility of observation, even if no human ever looks at the data, causes this change. A recording device that's turned on but never watched still affects the outcome.
