I have not produced anything in along time, not even in my own little secret folders in my google docs where many unbaked ideas sit and rot. I need to share more. I need to get the ideas on the page and out in the open. Just unfiltered unfinished, but at least out in the open ready to be molded into a real story.
I want to fix all the stories in my previous posts and some I haven't shared yet. I feel like some of the events are juvenile. But maybe some of them have to be. An article I read a while back made me think of virtually created realities. Not just in the kind of games we play today, but as in fully functional to a subatomic level. Or if that could at least be approximated to appear as though it was working on a subatomic level when observed. If you made a virtual universe like ours, you could find a world in that universe such that life exists and observer it. If we had a virtual universe such as that, we could go forward and backwards in time of it and observer it from any angle and any location in that world. We could see the evolution of life on a planet. We could witness an evolutionary history, we could witness a completely alternate universe of our own creation. We could make more of them. We could tweak them to fit our imagination. We could make our own rules. World were sentient minds form, worlds to watch. A generator of stories, we could become watchers and watch many universes. We would witness virtual sentient beings and possibly virtualize ourselves to travel across near infinite universes and live endless lives. We simulate a multiverse recording and growing to understand itself.
I want to write the stories in a world where that is possible. A girl journey in that world. Witnessing the history of her own reality and diving into a many infinite universes. Her death in the real world would send her to the virtual after life where the replica of her consciousness could live indefinitely. She could cross into other peoples realities as well as collective realities. All the beings would be part of a system, as system that is literally the collection of all the minds and universes and all that is to know in them. A virtual god of no sentience, a system.
Part of that idea came from how I wanted to justify a world where fantasy could make sense. It's easy enough to say magic exists, but I like having a way to make it make sense. After reading about superheroes and physics so many more unexplained sci-fi things bother me. It doesn't mean I can't enjoy them, but I want the fiction to be beyond my grasp. If I know something is clearly wrong it kills the fantasy. Which is also why somethings are better unexplained, but in authoring my own work I should know it and have a reason why it makes sense. It gives logic and flow to events.
So if a world is computer generated people could twist the code like Neo in The Matrix. But maybe only to certain degrees. In some personal universe some person came up with rules for "magic". Or maybe some one came up with a universe where a consciousness is copied and then dies permanently. Or a consciousness enters but cannot escape.
It would not just be Tron, maybe the people in it would see it more like actually crossing into other worlds, while that would be literally true, it would also be literally a computation occurring in a system.
What kind of world was it that would lead to that world too, what kind of problems to people face in world of infinite viewing entertainment. What came before and how did it happen?
I want to answer those questions and see generate a narrative for that.
The future musings stories I wrote, I had in mind to tie into this concept. It would allow for a cross genre universe, and possibly a meta author voice. I want to tie my works together into a cohesive piece.
Lots of thoughts running and I need to write more. Also this post needs to be cleaned up. So messy and unorganized.
