I look at things a little differently. Truth is always truth, but it requires reference points (temporal, spatial, context).
If I were to build a 100 foot long fence, I have to go survey the place I'm going to build it. But to even propose a fence implies gravity, so while you could conceptually build a fence in space, it wouldn't have much of a function because part of its form implies certain assumptions about the locality. A fence in space has lost some of its "fence-ness".
A hologram produces a representation of a space. A piece of a hologram still contains most of the information, but with a reduced field of view. Life and reality are (IMO) informational holograms in which we have reduced fields of views due to our limited bandwidth, but that's it. We can always seek to increase our field of view using our technologies, but we can only seek to understand the totality as an ideal, and not an attainable endpoint. We must always seek more information. If anything is God, then it is the totality of all information (data plus meaning, but not necessarily an additive or algebraic notion of "plus"). |
