An Open Book

wolven7First a few Fiats ("fiat" is philosopher "Let it Be." I'm asking you to give me a few things, for the sake of argument): 1) That we have all read books, multiple times, finding something enw, relating to it in a new way, each time.
2) (This one may be tough) That the universe is, in many ways, deterministic. No matter how many times this universe were to play out, many things would be exactly the same.
3) There is a multiversal network of universes.
4) (This is the biggie) There are Creator Beings. Call them gods, or whatever.
Okay, we good? So, think about this: What if this universe is a book that other gods keep reading? What if we everything we do, every event in the universe, is a moment of narrative structure being observed and searched by someone or something, outside of the Network of our multiverse, outside of its context, and from which they learn, or derive entertainment? This would mean that, no matter how many times the universe ran-- however many times you read the book-- they might see the same things, but they might mean something entirely different to the observer. And so, other observer/creators make new universes, and they spin out structure and story, and other observer-creators (or other universes) watch and experience, and learn, over and over again, but each time they do, by the time the do again, they've experienced new things, so the universes mean something new, again... The overall theme is the same, but how it resonates, how we interpret it, changes.
So, today, I overcame my monetarily-based crankiness, and my urge to lay around and do nothing, and i wrote down this thought that came to me when i was getting into the shower. Also, I got my hair cut, today, and i exercised as soon as I woke up, this morning. So, all told, I think today'll be a really inspiring one, the next time someone reads this universe.
