Exploring the thought behind AO (part one, probably)

It is not very clear where, or even when it all began. No one remembered when it began, and even fewer were able to recall if there was even an “it” to remember beginning.

There was only one person who remembered it all, and no one knew who or where he was. At least, it was assumed it was a he. No one could imagine such a person being a her.

To be fair, no one could imagine such a person existing. Getting over that hurdle, few could get over the idea of such a person even existing, it was not possible to imagine this being having a personality. Having gotten that far, it was a stretch, but possibly a plausible one, that this person would have a gender. Or multiple genders.

Having gotten that far, it might be a small leap to believe that this person was able to pass between “realities”.

Science says, in part at least, that it is possible, theoretically, to pass between “realms of reality”. Science also hints at the possibility that puncturing a hole between realities, (“creating a portal”; discovering a rift”, among other expressions) would cause a flash or explosion of some sort, causing a disturbance in “our” reality and it is theoretically unknown but possible to guess what the “reality explorer” would appear like in the “other” reality.

It is plausible to guess that this explorer would appear to be a flat image in the other reality, if he was even visible to anyone in the “parallel reality”.

If it is true that all “parallel realities” relate to each other like pages in a book, it is then possible that they are all bound or sheathed together, also much like a book. And it is further possible that these alternate realities are presided over, or at least guarded by beings or watchers or “gods” that are literally outside and above “our realities” but are also able to enter into the “books” and move in and out and among the pages of the book’s pages of parallel realities.

If it is true that there are beings outside of “our” collection of parallel realities, it follows, cautiously, that there are other “books” of other, and by definition, different “books of realities.

It is generally surmised that if a “parallel reality explorer” would successfully pass between realities, he would appear flat or almost invisible to anyone who exists in the other reality. This is probably not necessarily true, although I personally do not have enough knowledge or information of any actual experiments or experience of anyone who has actually experienced this in any form.

This might extend to time travel as well, meaning traveling “back in time” and “into the future”. It is at least hypothetically possible to travel “back in time” and “into the future” and “arrive” back at a “specific time and place” back in “our own time and place and reality after having gone through a portal or rift or being literally taken out of our own reality into another reality.

This is what likely happens during dreams when someone is asleep. It is possible that a dream is an actual “out of the body experience” that whatever the “soul” or “spirit” of a person experiences when the body is asleep and the soul “visits” other “pages” of reality.

In dreams or out of body experiences, it is plausible that the “soul or spirit” of a person is able to escape the confines of the “book” and since time is probably relative to the confines of the reality of the “page”, a four hour “sleep” in our reality can be “enough time” for multiple dreams and out of body experiences that are perceived by the mind as extremely vivid dreams, outside of the sleepers “realm of reality”.

All of this is not to say that AO is a story of a “reality explorer’. It is not even the story of a time traveler. Because being a time traveler is an admission that the time traveler is bound by and beholden to the “pages” of some reality in the “book” of time and space.

This means that if AO is not bound by space and time, and if he is beyond space and time, it follows that he is outside of the events of space and time.

He might also be the creator of it.

This raises an intriguing question that might have some infuriating implications. Would the creator of a time/space reality have any reason to want to interact with whatever or whoever is in the confines of the time/space reality construct?

In other words, would the creator of the time/space construct also be the creator of the inhabitants of the reality construct or would the inhabitants have “created” themselves? Also, would the creator of this space/time construct use his own DNA to create the inhabitants of this construct?

Would the inhabitants of this space time construct know who, in effect, made them, if they were not told? And, even if it were possible to tell them who created them, would the inhabitants of this space/time construct have the capability to believe it in the event that they were told?

And what would happen if the creator of the space/time construct literally were able to and actually entered into the confines of the space/time construct he himself had designed and created? How would he appear to the inhabitants of the space/time construct? Would he appear like the rest of the inhabitants of the space/time construct? Would he even be visible to them? Would his “sudden” appearance in the construct occur without a disturbance in the continuum of the space/time construct?

Also, would the place where he entered the space/time construct remain “open”? Or would there be the effect of a rip, or rift, or tear in the space/ time construct?

Further, would the inhabitants of the construct be capable of knowing if the rift or portal existed? If they were told the rift or portal literally existed, would they be capable of believing it existed or would they consider themselves to be insane and, frankly “out of their mind”?

Further, if the creator of this space/time construct were able to interact with the inhabitants of the construct, is it plausible to assume he is the only one who is capable with the inhabitants of the construct? If the answer is yes, is it also plausible that only people with good intent would interact with the inhabitants of the construct?

In other words, how likely is it that all of the acquaintances of the creator of the space/time construct would be pleased and thrilled and be fully in support of the success of the space/time construct, whatever the creator’s purposes and intentions for it were. We will assume for the moment that his intentions are good.

Is it plausible that any of his peers would be envious of his accomplishment? Is it possible that some would accuse him of having evil intent? Is it possible that there are those who would jump at the chance to hijack the endeavor and turn the whole thing into a disaster?

The answer might be obvious. But let’s keep going.

Is it plausible to believe that the creator of this particular space/time construct is the first such creator of such constructs; or even the brightest and best such creator of such constructs? Is it possible that he would believe he was the first, best and only creator of such constructs?

Is it possible that it would be conceivable, at least to him, that he is the first, best and only creator of such constructs? Is it further possible that this creator would learn as he goes how to interact with the inhabitants of the space/time construct, even if he created it? Is it possible that he would make mistakes in the course of learning how to interact with his creation, and is it also possible that his creation would be ignorant of his mistakes? Is it also possible that his creation would not know how to tell the difference between what he, their creator did, and what their creator should have done?
