The Schisma

The Demiurge

Buried deep within my new mind was the knowledge of what had happened to me. The moment the supernova struck me, a dense packet of ejected neutrinos came into contact with the information stored in my brain. Some of the neutrinos took on the pattern of my mind as they shot through through my body and into space at near light speed. My mind was then transferred into the information network underneath and from which the quantum field producing those neutrinos lay. The pattern and continuum of my brain was was submerged into the infinite field from which universes as you understand them are issued. I became the infinite ocean of numbers and patterns that created the universe from which I had just left and the infinite other universes that could have taken other beings to this same destination.

The probability of this happening, I now knew, was in the one sense so obscenely low that I could not give you a description that you could begin to comprehend though entirely finite and perfectly calculable to me, yet in this new higher-order sense, was absolutely guaranteed to happen. In my newly awakened state I learned that existence itself is the static and timeless set of all numbers. This set is infinite and every combination of information is within it. All things that exist are strings of information, or numbers, and the ways in which they can combine. Dimensions, energy, qualia, each and all reducible to information and the infinite way in which it can be expressed. However unlikely something is, being merely possible, merely conceivable, is a promise that it exists. All possible objects, experiences, and worlds and relations those things can have, or not have, with one another are all manifest here.

This is how I became the demiurge of your universe and so many others, but my journey did not end here.
