(+) Yeah! (+)

So, your brain produces electrical signals to make you aware of ideas in your mind. Anyway that's roughly the gist of it. So suppose you quantize the entire universe through a set of equations and approximated, roughly, every essential quantitative elements, and even all essential qualitative elements of the universe (by analysis). Wouldn't the corresponding electrical signals that your brain produces be representative of the entire universe?

The point is that you can have electrical signals that encode all meaning in the universe, and all of that exists in one person.

Sounds like a good way to explode your brain. Your brain goo will spurt out of your nose if you try it.

What does "quantizing the universe" entail?

Ew, no

I dont wanna think of the world in such ways its better when its free of boundaries

There are more boundaries imposed on you if you don't think of the world in that way, really, but that's not the point

Are you basically trying to say the whole universe might be a brain/living being and we are essentially the virus inside the being much like the flu? Like, each solar system is an atom?

Or are you on about something else?

I'm not trying to actually do this, I just remembered it from a book and am curious if other people would continue reading based on that thought experiment/idea

I don't think I reconstructed it faithfully

I dont think so but I dont think itd be representative of the entire universe anyways because you did it through human equations made to quantify and rationalize formless phenomena

I'm saying you can represent the whole universe with a relatively small amount of electrical output

yeah, I can agree with this actually its foundations at least.. you can get it the primordial soup in which everything jumps out of to form more complex ideas

I don't really know what is meant by the whole universe- I'd have to read more to clarify, but I think the idea is you can represent some kind of whole with just the mind

So I think the idea is that the representation of the universe and the actual matter of the universe are different, but the problem the author outlines is the perspectivelessness of the universe contrasted to the perspective of a subject. If matter is different from representation (because certainly the entire universe is not comparable to a representation of the universe) then how do the same objects exist between the perspectiveless universe and the perspective of the subject... Whoa...

I say the brain is a transit. The soul is doing the thinking is this is far too complicated for a Human.

Daddy DarkSydePhil made a good point when he asked why EMPs don't kill us.

TAKE THAT, SCIENTISTS!

That sounds really redundant because you are going to have trillions of copies of the same thing as opposed to a blue print you can tweak for certain scenarios. And you'll probably know less than what top astrophysicists know now because they'll know actual concepts and relationships instead of just raw data.

As far as the OP question goes, I sincerely doubt it. The composition of the brain is completely different from the composition of space. It'd much more likely be mapped in someway like how electronic circuits use combinations of on and off switches to represent different things.
