with timelines in mind
i was living in woodland hills cali april to july 2006 doing arc stuff
Can you elaborate on this?
I see people talking about timeline stuff, future and past selves, claiming this or that and for the most part when pressed to elaborate they either don't reply or spin word salad only to decry anyone who checks them on it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm reasonably versed in multiple time theories. Yet in certain circles I've yet to meet anyone who could prove an iota of their theory or claims, whilst meeting numerous that would lose their mind when directly questioned or, shock horror, questioned directly on it.
Hell, I've met people who claim they're the future or alternate selves of other people. Kinda like that guy who shot Lennon.
Genuinely curious about some real provable details.
Here is my simple belief on timelines.
This is purely fuckin speculative, I have little to no proof, it's just my working theory.
I do not think there is more than one of us experiencing timelines. I think as a conscious observer, we experience one timeline at a time, and if we shift timelines, we are conscious on the new timeline, but there aren't "remnant consciousnesses" living out their own lives elsewhere.
Here's what I think, there's one active timeline at a time. If every potential timeline is like the branching of a tree or root system, I imagine only one of these blocks of space and time being lit up, and actually experienced.
The other timelines are the closest potential timelines to the one that is actual, being lived. I believe these are "inactive" branches, but that coexist very closely to the timeline we are experiencing. There is no one there, living in that timeline, but the ones that are very close to our timeline represent possibilities that closely mirror our current timeline.
Say the mandela effect is the artifact of us remembering changes from another timeline. As soon as we slip over, or the timeline changes, so does our memory of the past, immediately. Like patching a video game, the player character is unlikely to notice subtle changes in the code. Our memories stay consistent with the timeline we are on, except for rare circumstances in which we anomalously retain memories of other timelines that we cannot reconcile with other people or with the history that is written now.
As for future timelines, and determinations of which ones will become active, I think that the very near future occurrences are much more predictable than further events in the future. The closer we get to the occurrence of a future event, the more "actualized" potential results become. We have a much stronger ability to "collapse into" near future events, because there are less variables between the present and the near future than the present and the far future.
My idea? No, I do not think there are other selves out there living their lives. I think that if we collapse into a separate timeline, there's still that consistent consciousness of "me" now experiencing the new timeline, and inactive timelines are merely possibilities on a giant tree, dead and inactive but still containing a feed of what would occur in them had they become active.
