I was told that some of the abstract ideas that I share in my Posts are difficult to grasp and that illustrations would help with understanding them. My problem is that I can't draw very well. My artistic brain-to-hand coordination is quite poor. So I thought, hey this is the age of AI. Why not let AI figure this one out?
As it turns out, while AI can do pretty good conventional images and video, abstract concepts are a whole different ball game. The trick is to put into words what I am conceptualising, while figuring out how words can get misinterpreted. And I've discovered that, while AI can produce pretty neat graphics, it's not easy to give them a drawing and get them to modify it. They seem fixated on retaining the original as much as possible.
So I've resorted to getting AI to produce elements of my design, and then I assemble those elements by myself. Let's see if it works.
One tough concept that is critical to my hypothesis of what life is about is the Cause-Consequence Matrix. This is how I visualise it.
If we look at a single slice of time, it is made up of events happening at the same time. Looking at any single event, we can understand that it happened the way it did because of all the events that happened before that, leading to that instant. It is not just one single stream of events. It is a whole bunch of events leading up to that point. We can look that bunch of event as a cone of effects leading up to the event we are looking at.
Every event in that timeslice has a cone of causal actions leading to it. Those causal actions are what made that event happen the way it did. So we have a bunch of causal cones leading up to the events in the timeslice. Those cones overlap. Things that happened in the past have effect on many things happening in the present. So all those cones in the past are in fact an interlocked matrix of events.
Similarly, any event happening in the present will have effect on future events. We can expect a cone of consequences leading forward from each event. And the bunch of cones from the event of the present form a matrix of consequences. The illustration below should help with the visualisation of the above.
I have only put in a few cones of cause and a few cones of consequence to show how it happens. Imagine cones leading into and out of every event in the timeslice. Now expand that to every slice in that flow of time.
That should give you a mental image of how interlocked these events are. That's the deterministic Cause-Consequence Matrix which I have described elsewhere. That determinism is what we call karma - things happen the way they do because that is the inevitable roll of events. We can try to change things, but nothing happens solely based on what we do. A while bunch of other things also happen leading up to the event we are looking at.
So don't beat yourself up what you did being the cause of whatever. It was inevitable. It was karma.
How to deal with that? Go and read all the segments of my paper on Dharma. Then discuss with me if you need to. I respond to comments.
