RE: Why I Was Wrong About Flat Earth

But it could be speculated that each "real" or "player character" operates within their own frame work. This would still allow for PC's to interact with each other but would not necessarily mean that each PC is seeing the same things.

Right, if I'm following you correctly, it could be like you and me are in the kitchen and in your mind there's a green elephant in the closet, but so long as nothing happens that brings this information into play, for that stretch of time we can both exist or "overlap" and be useful and consistent with each other and both be real.

I think that this is rather unlikely, but I have had experiences that people have claimed to witness events involving myself that simply did not occur in my reality. This could be accounted for in much simpler explanations. Like maybe they were just lying, or under the influence of some sort of drug, or a memory was implanted into them by some means, but perhaps they did witness something the just didn't happen in my reality.

Right, there are totally worldy reasons for why they might report these discrepancies. And if it's the separate realities thing, "the universe" or whatever should be expected to have some mechanism to keep the discrepancies out of it. But I suppose it could be like every once in a while at the margins there are errors.

Kind of like building a house, it's generally good, but even great architects can make little mistakes here and there. So I suppose there can be little cosmic glitches.

I tend to think of it more as a world that is fully in the control of the maker of the said world. Where we as PC's also have a rather significant impact on our surroundings.

Interesting. I've thought before that it could be like "the range of everything possible" is pre-determined (by the maker, I guess), and then we choose what path we go down and what our experience is.

And then a twist off of that is we actually help build the reality as we go. Like as we show an experience, the maker can build off that and expand it. Like we essentially are the process of expanding reality. (And maybe it's like most of the things you do are going down the same already understood roads, but once in a while you push something new.)

And then it's an interesting paradox where the power of "God" or the universe or the maker etc is kind of actually a function of us, and vice versa.

I don't know if that's similar to what you mean at all.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
