Fundamental Possibility may exists, and if so,
is the ultimate basis of reality,
and has always existed,
since nothing can come of nothing.
It is fundamentally every possibility at once in superposition.
Possibility projects our local reality—space—
the penultimate reality—via electrons, quarks, and such, and/or strings, a hologram, consciousness, or whatever.
All is as it is in our local reality because it works.
— Beyond Local Reality —
Time, space, stuff, change, and form were real-ized from
The Fundamental Possibility,
Becoming our penultimate reality—
One possible from all probabilities.
— Quantum-like Superposition is Real —
Our reality came not from nothing,
But existed always as possibility,
One that amounts to something workable,
Among all in superposition.
— The First Impossibility —
No form of our penultimate realness
Could have existed alone before
Everything was quantum-known-all-at-once,
For what could have made the choice among many?
— The Second Impossibility —
Nor came it from an absolute nothing,
Since there can be no such “thing” at all,
So, since either way is impossible,
Fundamental Possibility is.
(A Discussion)
“I’ve been thinking about Fundamental Possibility—it solves a lot of problems!” he exclaimed.”
“Like what?” she inquired.
“Like how the penultimate reality, the fundamental substance(s), could still have existed forever, or at least in its potential form, and how its particular form was specifically one that worked instead of one that didn’t.”
“It existed forever because time was born with it, from possibility, the both of them always there as some kind of potential.” she replied.
“Yes, there was what just what is, rather than what was not—for a nothingness could never be, for there is surely something here.”
“The fundamental substances were the most probable of all possibilities,” she surmised.
“Yes, and perhaps it was the only possibility that would work.”
“Or the others fizzled and failed by going nowhere, sort of a survival of the fittest of all the scenarios of consequences of what could serve as space and reality.”
“And Fundamental Possibility had to exist, rather than not, for that’s all there could be. Yet, I’m trying to adjust to this new way of thinking.”
“True,” fundamental Possibility is a bit like your mind sifting through eventualities of possible actions, only Possibility forms substances. It may even be forming some now, here and there, but on a lesser basis than when the universe expanded, for then all was wide open. Of course, this Possibility must remain simple in a way, that being the price of being Fundamental, but, you, a 13 billion-year complex composite, are much more advanced, and that is where real meaningful life occurs. If Fundamental Possibility could talk, which it can’t, for it is not a system, it might say something much the same as you would now in your quest for the theory of everything:
I’ll follow every single avenue,
Whether it’s brightly lit or a dark alley,
Exploring one-ways, no-ways, and dead-ends
Until cornered where the truth is hiding.
And now you’ve arrived in that dark corner and so you can live life better by knowing who you are:
Some simple substance(s) gave rise to everything,
Chosen as probable above the rest—
Knowing at once that it would function well—
The most promising—the possible ones.
