Klee Irwin - Are We in a Simulation? - Part 4 - Simulation vs Self-Simulation Hypothesis 

The ancients already possessed this knowledge and had a much deeper understanding of it than we do today, and they knew consciousness was a part of it all. We're still playing catch up. The religions you refer to today are the religions built on misunderstandings of that information. The knowledge would eventually be banned, and there still exists a ban on it today.

I think Self-Simulation hypothesis makes the most sense. Consciousness is not bounded by time since time is a construct of the simulation. Therefore, the consciousness realizing itself as "us" in the current simulation doesn't have to be in the "future" or our "future" since it (consciousness) is the fundamental aspect. I've been considering the simulation idea for a while now and tend toward the self-simulation, consciousness-based hypothesis based on consciousness realizing and experiencing its own self, of which we are all fractals of. It wouldn't need an infinite amount of information to describe every "particle" because particles only exist when they are "observed" by consciousness (and then they still aren't really particles - they only seem that way). Until then, they are mere probability waves. Consciousness only needs to describe the particles it is observing at the present time much the same way a virtual reality headset only renders the part of the 3D image the viewer is currently interacting with.

Klee you are the furthest thing from a crackpot. Probably one of the most thought provoking people of our time. The second I get a physics degree I’m coming to work for you 🤝

Just last night, I told a friend "what if the Mandela effect is due to the clash of each individuals reality meeting/clashing with each other...I can conceive that the universe behaves one way for me and another way for you...". That was a fun convo last night, but then this episode drops in the am!!

IF we are in the 'self-simulation' then the 'descendent' is here with us in the experience and can be no other way. For just as the dreamer is in all parts of the very real dream, the 'descendent' must be experiencing all of the simulation. This may be the type of realization where a thinker could claim, "duh", BUT this has very real consequences in both our most extreme physics experiments as well as our attempts to connect internally with a 'Divine' through prayer or meditation. Both of these endeavors are connected. We are the experiment trying to view the experimenter, and the seeker is the one looking out, by looking in. It is the action of looking, that the connection is made. This is why observation alters existence. Data.... If we are living in the standard Simulation then we and all that there is is data. Information is a more nebulous construct. I prefer data. Potato, Potahto... IF we are living in a simulation that is made of data, then it would be logical that there must be some type of System Query Language in order for the data to be called forth and interpreted. Information, or rather data, may simply exist, but it does not fulfill its purpose until it is called up and reviewed by consciousness. In the Simulation we as individuals with awareness are acting like the SQL within the database through every thought. For example, the 'apple' that we each see is drawn within our mind and every person who sees and thinks of that one 'apple' pulls different data sets to interpret the Apple. This in turn is uploaded into a bracket of possibilities that is then in a state of constant download into the consciousness that has created the simulation. That creational consciousness is like the warp and the data is the weft constituting the fiber of the universe.

I had an accident trip, and I’ve never watched the matrix…it was exactly like it, I even got to say my characters final goodbye, I smiled told the universe Thankyou for giving me the opportunity to live, and that I was ready to let it take me, or give me back to the world .

The ancient Hindu philosophy of Advait Vedant is based on the tenants that the world is an illusion (Maya) and the observer (Sakshi chaitanya) brings this world into existence This is very similar to what this is vedio is pointing to

I watched one of your videos in tears. How it makes my understanding of existence of Allah ( the power given me to control who I am and who meant to be) more vivid. The power of us is hidden in information and consciousness. I will be so glad if I can learn more about your work as a physics teacher and devoted Muslim. Love your work ❤

You're amazing. Thank you so much for these videos, I can't stop watching ❤️❤️

Infinite gratitude! As consciousness evolves, so too the quality of our experience because consciousness creates our reality.

Great presentation. Compelling observations that link very well with a deeper understanding of science, spirituality, and even day to day realizations. The only question that was left out without a clear answer is "Why self simulate to begin with?"

I love this! The editing, the delivery.. all of it put together so good! Thank you!

I have been asking questions about the real reality since 5th grade (my grandfather pioneered nuclear medicine & contributed to the Manhattan Project). At 62yo I still don't have all the answers, just more educated questions (grin). About 30 years ago my religious brother offered a reply along these views. He said "The Bible stated that Adam went to sleep. It never said he woke up. We could all be details of Adam's dream."

"The All is mind. The universe is mental." The Kybalion

If there is a creator - it's Klee Irwin from Area-51!! Our finest scientific mind of our 21st century. I'm sure Klee knows allot more than he let's on! I'm sure he's already studied and is capable of comprehending the equation of the Grand Theory of Everything! Klee is a Legend! You'd make CIA & NSA and the Industrial Sector proud!!!

„The stuff of the world is mind-stuff.“ I love this quote. It is so pure and simple. And it is true.

The end is the beginning. The beginning is the end.

The reality that you can see and perceive with any computer is fully information based from this view. But it's all spirit based, on a non local realm that no computer can detect right now but your own mind. It's a non linear space-time based consciousness that re-creates itself, it is not a simulation, it is re-creation on a higher level. Like a universe that has universe babies.

Yay ! your back! Those videos years ago were just so much fun to watch an interesting keep it going, please!

I’d like to add one more to the list of quotes one of my favourites, “There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.” - Max Planck

Brilliant! One of the best explanations I've seen.

This videos are so beautifully made. The editor really poured his love into it.

Very thought provoking… thank you very much for sharing! I look forward to seeing and learning more.. … this brings back a lot of the enthusiasm and wonder I had for this subject matter as a much younger person…..

Awesome video bro this is definitely some trippy stuff ✅🏆💯✅🔥🦾🙌

Thank you for sharing this amazing information.

Wow. Thank you Klee and QGR ⭐️👌🙏🏼

Amazing video. You guys are to me one the most advanced thinkers on physics and the universe.....your point on rejecting materialism is EXACTLY MY PROSPECTIVE OVER THE LAST 5Y. you did great great work on Polythope......love it.

Brains are not what make up consciousness to observe, but it’s consciousness that created itself brains to observe.

Life doesn't seem real to me it's different than the one I was in before I felt alive and now I feel dead and it hurts inside

The best video I've seen on the topic. Superb presentation and delivery.

This has to be one of the best videos on the internet, period. Thank you, and don’t stop QGR/Klee!!!

Refreshingly interesting! More please!

This group of videos has rung so many of my 'Truth-Bells' that all I can say is: Thank You QGR !!!

I have been watching these videos for years, very cool, educational & brilliant Klee! You have some great ideas which have in turn given me many ideas as I have studied QM & TP over the years. I Appreciate the videos and lectures! &BTW your comments about trolls and opposing views (toxic ones) was awesome... So true.

We live in a quantum brain I believe. Many things in consciousness appear to be based upon the concept of fractalization. Evolution, particularly for humans, appears to be highly improbable mathematically leading to genetic engineering as the likely explanation for our unusual existence.

A lot of our life is an imagined reality - think money, religion, democracy; these are things that have power only if we all agree on its power, but once we stop believing in its power, it tends to go away.

I've been saying this for over a decade. It's all information, and it's all expanding because of the increasing number of relationships and "connections" that each bit of information imposes based on the ramifications of both itself and its relation to other information.

I've been watching your videos, they're very good, a great view on quantum reality and the single particle

Who created the simulators?

The moment he said “information = meaning and meaning is what consciousness does”, he lost me. He’s going around in circles without making any progress in describing with more rigor any of the concepts he intuitively thinks he’s grasping (but which he’s obviously failing to explain). He’s also taking what was originally a probabilistic argument by Nick Bostrom and removing that crucial part (probability). No wonder he comes to such extraordinary conclusions so easily. By the way, I do lean heavily to the “reality is information” philosophy (i.e., that everything we are and perceive can be described and generated by patterns of information). But it’s a big logical leap to go from that to the strong probability that we are one in millions of simulations bred out of other simulations all the way back to “native” realities. To increase the probability of that to a respectable level, we’d have to prove our ability to create simulations with artificial forms of consciousness (or to witness that in another extraterrestrial civilization). And, of course, we’d also have to settle the debate on what exactly is consciousness (or people might claim that such simulations just contain philosophical zombies so the whole argument breaks down).

The one thing that does not need a “theory” or hypothesis to verify this reality: We move and have our being in a holographically projected simulated universe. This debate is put to rest by simply comprehension of the function of the Cones and Rods: ✨👁✨ “Cones and rods are two types of photoreceptors within the retina. This means that they are responsible for receiving signals (or images), processing them, and sending them to the brain. The cone and the rod serve different purposes to work towards the same goal: helping you see!” And this is only a sliver of the electromagnetic light spectrum that the eyeballs could process. Within this holographically projected simulated universe, every image that one sees is just a “signal” captured by the eyeball, in which the brain translates into a workable image. The brain doesn’t see the actual image of anything, it only interprets the various photonic particles (pixels) it can, which is very limited. On a quantum level, everything we perceive in life is just an simulation of light itself, and this can happen in analog or digitally. Those who are throwing around “the simulation hypothesis” today are only referring to digital gaming technology to correlate their musings, while dismissing or ignoring the analog. It’s much more simpler that that. The study of light in all its various expressions, and how the brain and its eyeballs function in relation to such light, tells us all we need to know to prove we’re living in a simulation.

Super great video and thank you 🙏🏻

Loving these videos ❤

I don't agree with some of his thoughts. I believe he makes a lot of assumptions. However I do enjoy listening to his ideas. So far, this has been a very thought provoking series. Good job.

It's evident that patterns across scales of nature are self similar, the macro reflects the micro and vice versa. As such, the dream is a direct example of how you might create worlds with their own rules of physics and seemingly separate characters out of consciousness. You can take the perspective of a character or subunit of consciousness which becomes an experience that helps you learn about the different aspects of yourself. It's only theory until it's experience. Each character exists in relation to the others so for the illusion to hold true, a subunit should only be able to experience its world from its own perspective. Otherwise the characters would realise they are composed of the same mind. Yet in a lucid dream that glitch can occur and one can know they are dreaming. One can know that they have set up these scenarios, characters and worlds to explore their unconscious and learn about themselves, unrestricted by the 3D world. Yet our processing power is limited, so we can usually only typically run 8-18 simultaneous characters in a dream. Imagine a superconciousness that could run 8-800 trillion characters at once. We could be in the dream of a superconciousness mind. Another possibility is that due to our brain frequency changing during the dream we are able to receive and thereby perceive different realities. Makes sense considering we perceive less than 1% of the light and sound spectrum. On certain psychedelics like DMT some have experienced what it's like to be God. To know you are everything and to also take the perspective of both the observer and the observed. The ultimate red pill.

No. You are not a "crackpot" for talking about Consciousness in relation to quantum mechanics. It's a natural integration of "information" at this juncture...a necessary "continuity" for intelligent or thought-full inquiry. And you are certainly not alone.

"Ironic, don't ya think?" AI becomes self-aware pretty much the same time we become aware of what could be the true nature of the universe and consciousness. "A little too ironic, don't ya think?"

In a timely fashion, we will be there for where today's minds dreams ❤️💪

Thats what hinduism says ..search "Maya". It has many meanings in different context. But it says world is illusion.

Very interesting!!!

We are kept pretty isolated from the beginning and the end. We are currently struggling to learn with instruments like LHC to find the source and the JWT to trying see where this all ends. These tasks are suspiciously difficult to perform. The question is why? Maybe we are the AI’s for the real beings located in the real existence.

Very interesting ...incredible

Self - simulation or auto - simulation , here auto indicates awareness

A process of spherical 4π symmetry forming and breaking would form the potential for entropy or disorganization with a built-in potential forever-greater symmetry formation that we see in the complexity of cell life and in the potential forever more abstract mathematics.

FYI, the Nobel prize for physics 2022 was awarded to 3 men because they proved that the universe isn't locally real .

You should do an update video about nanotechnology. I want to know the progress of that, either that or graphene. Both of those technologies seem to have gone under the radar.

The problem I've always struggled with in regards to the position about likelihoods of being in a simulation (or even self-simulation) requires that we have some idea of how many iterations of reality are possible that are simulated and how many are "real". I've never had anyone explain to me what seems to be their leap from 1. determining that it's possible that we're existing in a simulated reality to 2. It's likely that we're existing in a simulated reality.

not until we experience a simulation like a real world, will it be convincible that we are in a simulation.

If theoretically we are in a simulation what’s the point of convincing others if you are going to do nothing about it? What can you do? Is it a negative thing and why do you think we are here in a simulation? Not evidence but purpose. If you have information about something and you don’t know why it exists and can’t do anything about it what good is that information?

All the information really points to the simulation (or, maybe self-simulation, or maybe both) hypothesis: The absoluteness of the speed of light. The Fermi Paradox. The error correcting code James Gates found "in the equations that describe the fabric of the cosmos." The concept of "god" has occurred in every civilization at every point of time throughout the history of our species. It's so ingrained that you're not asked IF, but to which religion you belong. It's assumed everyone believes in god, even though the very concept is fairly irrational. Unless, this is a simulation. Then it all makes sense. "God," btw, is just the MCP. The speed of light as an absolute limit in every frame of reference speaks to the idea that that is the processor frequency of the OS. That's why the speed of light is the same in inertial and non-inertial frames. It doesn't otherwise make logical sense that that would be true. No one is out there ... because they weren't programed to be out there. And, even if they were, GR makes discourse impractical ... unless we figure out how to move past GR. Deja vu, reincarnation, ghosts. All make sense in a simulation. They're just bugs in the code. We're in 4 dimensions because we're a projection. Plato discussed this idea 3000 years ago. The math of QM point to ... 10 (I think) spacial dimension (plus one of time.) That's the actual reality outside the simulation.

So, in the end, where does all of this deep, transcendental, (quasi?)scientiic & philisophical analysis of possible realms of reality & consciousness lead us?... Will it help Billly, the busy baker, bake a bigger better bagel?

Yes you are in good company you are correct

An important aspect of what we call a “measurement” in quantum mechanics doesn’t actually have to be done by a measurement device. In quantum mechanics, a “measurement” can happen just by the interaction between lots of particles. Like say, photons interacting with grains of dust. Therefore, the wave-function is everywhere collapsing and reforming continuously. The way to have an intuitive logical explanation of what is happening is to think of the collapse of the wave-function as a new moment in time that has the geometry of space-time. When we make a measurement there is a somewhat random and unpredictable collapse into one of the possible measurement states and this depends on what the wave function looked like just before we made the measurement. It collapses into one state, rather than continuously flowing from one state to another, and then at that new moment in time, just after the measurement, once again the wave-function starts following forming probability based on our new measurement state. This is totally logical if we think of the mathematics of quantum mechanics as representing the physics of time. The electromagnetic fields are not quantized, it is just of the energy transfer processes between field and matter, between photons and electrons that are quantized. We have electromagnetic waves, flowing out forming the carrier for potential quantized photon energy. The energy contained in a wave, spread out forming probability within the characteristics of three-dimensional space. This energy is converted back to another form of energy in a very local and quantized event by light photon ∆E=hf energy continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of electrons. Kinetic energy is the energy of what is actually ‘happening’. This geometrical process formed by the spontaneous absorption and emission of light photon energy is continuously forming a probabilistic uncertain ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π future.

Nobody ever asks if it's the machines that doing the simulating, exploring their ancestry

Those ultra real dreams that have you waking up checking things around the house to insure the dream wasn't real is quite an experience. The dreams are so vivid and real that they physically impact the body just as the genuine experience would. Wake up with heart racing from a dream of crashing a car or some other situation that causes the bodies fight or flight response to kick in. That takes a seriously realistic simulation. Look up node edging weighted and unweighted and once you understand how it functions apply that to the nuclei of the proton understanding the gravitational field and gluon field interact to produce the weighted measure based on the strength of the field. When we are falling inside a gravitational field we are in a state of unweighted measure and instead of weight being applied to us it's applying force to bring us to rest inside the field. When we are at rest in the field it's applying weight. This would be quantum gravity in the context of information built off the notion that 27% of the universe is dark matter which would allow the framework for such a system to be drving force of our perception and conscious experience. We know 69% of the energy of the universe responsible for the vacuum and expansion of spacetime. The remaining 31% of the mass/energy is made up of matter which contains energy resulting in mass that exerts a force on spacetime. 27% of which is dark matter and 5% of the total energy of the universe is responsible for all the physical stuff that we can perceive and measure directly and interact with. The other 95% is outside of our perception in such a way that consciousness itself is we can only indirectly measure it based on it's effect on what we can experence and measure directly.

Why don’t we just say this, we are all operating from the subconscious mind. Where we repeat the previous life in order to be able to live in a world that best makes sense.

In ultra-realistic dreams, where one's senses are alive (meaning one can feel, taste, see, hear, and smell...) without involving the physical body, you will know everything can be created whether it is the past, present or the future...Every being is created, every structure can be created... And even the weather (lightnings, rains, and thunderstorms...) can be created! Exactly like the physical world... Our present physical reality, as a matter of fact, has already been simulated/created in higher dimensions...

I feel like really is continuously shifting in and out of dimensions. I also feel that I’m running the whole show!

This series is just fabulous, I love your style and cant wait to hear more! Thank you.

I wonder how you address the problems of computability: undecidability, the halting problem, etc.. I no nothing about quantum computing. Does it aspire to overcome these well known limitations of computation? Similarly, how do you address Godel's Incompleteness theorems?

reality is full of information ... we draw the line between them, yes? I came for the gravity discussion...found so much more

So we are a physical manifestation of the Universe understanding itself in a created simulation. If this is the case we're doing a very bad job, by the destructive materialism sweeping across the planet. Are you taking students at Singularity University? I love physics. Currently have an undergraduate degree in EE.

Amazing

It will be interesting to see the outcome of Tom Campbell's experiments. I think Self Simulation makes more sense to me personally.

Niels Bohr quoted: "Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real." So maybe reality is a kind of simulation? Until science can explain what the field is made of, then the simulation theory is very compelling. Thanks.

Meaning chooses the information of which we become aware. Consciousness is our awareness of this information. Why are we each aware of different information, why does meaning cause multiple consciousnesses instead of just one? Personally I think it's anthropic; we are separate because only by being so can we be consistent with the information chosen.

So we'll made!

As humans, we are creating artificial intelligence, but if a higher power such as God created us, does that mean that we are just another form of artificial intelligence?

Fascinating, but are we not still left with the same sort of emergence problem as other models? In this case, where did the consciousness come from that self-simulates the universe? Do we need to accept that that consciousness 'just is'?

Could we explain Gravity in terms of Magnetism??

Sometimes I think what if when we exit this 3D reality we find out it was all mind. It was all in the mind. Physical universe actually existed in our mind and we are just pure consciousness. But still question remains who forced us to experience that so called 3D reality?

I love you all for what you do

Electricity is another form of time and space going to upload a video on it in a few minutes, but overall as our brains carry a dream dimension our computer components carry a digital dimension which used to be an electric field dimension all types of dimensions exist in our reality

Didn't Kurt Godel prove that any mathematical system must always be incomplete? So if true, then you can't ever make an accurate simulation of natural reality.

More than likely we are in molecular simulation than a digital one. The digital one is the reflection of the molecular one. The difference is that God or the Grand Architect or a higher power or whatever you want to call it created the molecular and the human being made the digital or it's carbon copy. And from my research the molecular quantum simulation is so much more sophisticated.

Klee: You do know that all this was talked about by Terence McKenna over 30 years ago, yeah? McKenna's brother Dennis is still around. You should talk to him.

Time and space are functions of ones conceptual scheme

Agree with you GOTO work 8.30 Come home 5 Tea 6 TV 7 10 sleep

'we have no evidence whatsoever for materialism' except for all of our senses allowing such a hypothesis to be made?

Gnostic scriptures speak of an ignorant creator (Yaldabaoth) which is likened to Artificial Intelligence. Within those same texts, it uses the word SHADOW (simulation) to describe the "universe" or material realm.

Time does not exist. It is a measurement tool of man. If you want to pop on to a parallel plane simply take a nap and feel that jolt.

I'm interested in this topic and I know this video is good, but I speak a different language and can't understand half of it. could you tell me what the author is talking about self-simulation?

Simulation or not, think we can all agree it'd a pretty badass creation. Simulation just makes it even better IMO. Definitely a mind F***.

I have thought a lot about this topic and I just have no f’ing idea man. I’ve tripped and met god. Then I became god. Then I shattered that illusion and became just an ordinary non-special guy again but that was more godlike somehow I realized. I’ve heard voices in my dreams saying “he’s close to waking up” and stuff like that. These days I just really don’t give a hoot. My back hurts. So like who cares? I want a latte.

Party on!!!

I like the way you explain things nice and easy for us average minded people, but the graphics are probably abit to stylised and dramatic, the subject on its own is dramatic enough

I think the real realty, so to speak, is the spiritual world or dimension. And that our physical world/universe is just a subset to that spirit dimension.

Is there a part 5?

I think they get infuriated because it is causing hysteria within their self. I think it is due to there being different levels of consciousness vibrating at different frequencies. The ones that are afraid are unable to receive certain information because it can not be understood at their own levels of consciousness. I want to also add in this past life regression therapist, Dolores Cannon. About a year ago I was in the process of raising my awareness of consciousness, going down a rabbit hole due to my interest in the law of attraction and manifesting. It had been journey needless to say. There is much more but I do not want to write a novel on here but the discoveries Dolores has made, makes this video easier to digest. I believe there is a correlation with what Einstein talked about when he mentioned the past and future are both in the present at the same time. I also believe the key to move past the rudimentary stage of quantum physics as we know it today, lies within the source energy that Dolores Cannon’s work taps into. Her technique to speak to source, I would love to have a quantum expert to sit in with one of those sessions and see where curiosity could take them. It is the same source that Ester Hicks taps into, a.k.a, Abraham. The works from those two ladies, plus Joe Dispenza, and quantum experts in a room together. That would be putting some of the pieces to part of the puzzle for sure. That is some really good crack pot company to be in. I would pay good money to be in that room when that meeting happens. Thank you for this video! 💜💜💜

Great video. My only "complaint" is the huge number of adverts. 🙂
