scott_sanfordI am everywhere.
Everywhere.
I am everywhere and everything and everyone. At the same time I am a single consciousness slowly drifting into awareness, as infinity slowly resolves into a single world, down to a single point.
Touch comes first; I become aware of warmth and softness. There is no nest of comfortingly rigid crystals for me here, so the memory of them falls away and is forgotten. Instead memories of ‘blankets’ gather at the outskirts of my mind, as an idea I may need soon.
The concepts of ‘here’ and ‘soon’ resolve too, in the background, one time dimension and a spare handful of spacial dimensions, in a contiguous undirected graph. There are other ways to make a spacetime manifold but I’ve already forgotten them.
It is dark. I could see things if there was more light. I do not live on a neutron star, sensing the world around me in a brilliant cascade of magnetic fields and electrical flows. The memory drifts away.
I draw a breath without thinking of it and am reminded I breathe. I feel lungs moving air. That’s straightforward.
There’s a whole body attached too, which seems convenient. When I move slightly I feel my own exterior surface – skin – as warm and soft but different from the blankets, and self images involving armor or exoskeletons drop away.
I open my eyes (eyes, right, I have eyes) and see piled artefacts all around me. Recognition quickly clicks into place and I know them as a desk, books, clothes, dozens of other things.
I blink a few times as generic memories of industrially manufactured consumer goods queue up in my mind, and specific memories of my own stuff.
They’re my things, where I left them last night.
That’s my scarf, right there on the chair. Those are my goggles, right there in front of me.
Right. I’m me.
I’m Jenny Everywhere.
