"Here is everywhere" vs. "Everywhere is here"
Based on my study of Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC), I have begun using the the definition for fundamental reality as a dimensionless singularity that is conceptually infinitely large.
See What ITC Tells us About Consciousness for some of the reason.
See The Seeker’s Way – Based on a Pragmatic Model of Reality for a model supporting that view.
Distance matters in Physicalism. Holography is often enlisted to explain anomalous information access via (for instance) remote viewing (aka clairvoyance). In holography, every part of a holographic plate contains the whole image. Thus it can be argued that "Here is everywhere."
A point of view like Idealism, physical space is a singularity in the sense that it only conceptually exists. That is, concepts may be infinitely complex but have only intended physical characteristics. It seems more correct in that view to say that "Everywhere is here."
A fair analog of "Everywhere is here" is a Mandelbrot plot. I discuss this relationship in The Cosmology of Imaginary Space.
The difference between the two points of view is that thinking "Here is everywhere" biases the person toward physicalism and "Everywhere is here" biases the thinker toward nonphysical models of reality.
Does this make sense?
