People are not as mystically, magically, or psychically disconnected as we think they are. Magic that you can interact with is not like a ‘set it and forget it’ thing. It stays associated with you per your potential to interact with it. I’m seeing many people who have the wrong idea about servitors…

Locality can be interchanged with causality in a lot of cases, so we can say entities are connected if they can cause a change in each other. For example, if I throw a ball at someone, there is a scalar of speed and a vector of velocity that carries the ball through the air and hits them in the head; thereby causing a change in their state. If I threw a ball at a person from my house, and they were on the other side of the world, the ball would hit the wall and not them. There is no connection because they are not local. Systems are connected on some level if they can cause a change.

The above example is ephemeral because there is no prolonged connection beyond those moments. Magic is more persistent because a person can interact with a spell they’ve cast or an entity they are interacting with per intent. If you create a spell, servitor, etc., and you can interact with the spell or the servitor, you’re still connected. If you can control a servitor, you are still connected; therefore, the servitor is a part of you. Since the servitor is connected to you via causal relationships, that servitor you created can exert an influence backward on you. What does that mean? That means if you set a servitor after someone and can control that servitor, there is a locality between that person, the servitor, and your mind, so a magician can get into your head or influence the servitor to influence you via that open channel. You can cut by cutting the connection to the servitor; however, that implies you can’t control the entity. It’s fully autonomous. If you cut off your hand, your hand is not a part of you; however, you can’t move that hand anymore. Your ability to exert a causal influence on something implies you are in that thing’s locality and that there exists a potential inverse where you can be pushed back on and influenced. Spells connect things, and servitors are persistent daemons. You are disconnected from a system, network, or entity if there is no potential causal relationship to imply a local connection.

We can think of the psychic plane as having systems of connected concepts and experiences. Personally, I am skeptical of the realism of astrology and astral planes, so I believe that any celestial metaphor or analogy should have some support. We can point to an area that is a cluster of hateful concepts and experiences and we can say that the influence of those clusters is the dominant force for that domain. We say that things are in a solar system based on something called a hill sphere.

The Hill sphere is a concept in celestial mechanics that defines a region around a celestial body (like a planet or a moon) within which its gravitational influence dominates over the gravitational influence of another body. We can simulate a psychic analogy via Graph Theory and force-drawing algorithms like Force Atlas. That will render something that looks like a semantic constellation. In this, there is an attractive force on connecting nodes after a random repulsive force is exerted on every node on the graph. The forces acting on each node are continuously recalculated based on their positions and the strengths of connections (edges) between them. This iterative process continues until the forces reach equilibrium, meaning that the nodes settle into stable positions where the forces balance out. With this, we can see a clustering of concepts, archetypes, patterns, experiences, etc via associativity and their correspondences. Within clusters formed by the Force Atlas algorithm, certain nodes may emerge as more central or influential than others. These central nodes often have higher degrees of connectivity within their respective clusters, meaning they are more strongly connected to other nodes in the cluster. Nodes with higher connectivity within a cluster are akin to bodies with larger hill spheres in celestial mechanics because they exert greater influence over the surrounding nodes within their cluster. So, there is a weak analogical connection between psychic bodies hill spheres in celestial bodies.

While we are physically in the same place, when people engage with psychic planes, a part of them is moving within those domains where there is an implicit influence. Mass is a property that resists acceleration, so we can think of a psychic analogy as what we will or will not do. If you are psychically being displaced as you move towards a domain that exerts a greater influence, you are accelerating towards that thing which implies there is an inverse relationship between the influence of your will and that body. You are paying for your magic through sacrificing bits of yourself, in other words, which includes your sanity.

Paradigms are ontological assumptions, beliefs, and expectations about the world, shaping how we perceive recurring structures or points. On a psychological level, they are how we connect data points from our sensory experience or intuition to see the world, so paradigms are models. Magical paradigms are useful because they provide a framework to perceive our anomalous experiences, such as psychically perceived entities or altered states of consciousness different from our baseline level of consciousness.

One of the biggest challenges for people just starting out in magic is that they are locked into a particular way of perceiving the world. However, when magical and paranormal paradigms become too internalized, they can lock us into a way of seeing the world. For example, the categories that occult paradigms create can make it so that every anomalous experience gets labeled as an angel, a demon, a ghost, an alien, or anything that fits a prototype of the culture that they belong to. This can create fallacies or even illusions.

A project I am working on involves looking at the properties of experiences and entities absent any mnemonic aspects of properties, conducting regression analysis algorithmically, and constructing more robust gestalts and models to avoid being locked into a particular way of perceiving magic. I am keeping the term magic because it connotes the artistic aspects, albeit I am gradually purging occult lexicon that denotes occult paradigms. While the experience itself might be veridical, it being constrained by a paranormal or occult paradigm can create a fallacious and illusory way of perceiving it.

The sudden, violent shift in experience that can come from something that turns our world upside down, an initiatory event, gnosis, or a shift in consciousness from drugs can create a liminal space that opens people up to a magical way of seeing the world. I’m not a fan of those methods because I’ve seen more people develop an obsessive relationship with magic with those methods more so than an enlightened one. That and people’s ability to do magic tends to become linked to that state. It is like that person who manifests psychokinesis out of anger. It is not very useful nor healthy to have to work your way up into a state of anger or fear to do something.

I do a lot of regression analysis. In regression analysis, there are points where the goal is to statistically estimate the relationship among dependent variables to connect the dots and create a model. The thing with these models is that there is a point where that model is no longer valid, and it is not an exact fit. That is similar to how paradigms work. They create a model of the world that connects the dots and shapes how we perceive things; however, there is a point where those models are not pragmatically effective.

For every paradigm, our intuitions, perceptions, and expectations break down and become continuous everywhere and differentiable nowhere, i.e., a singularity. All models are wrong, and all models are useful in a very narrow context. I have seen a trend of occultists internalizing paradigms when, in actuality, we should be treating them conventionally as languages. We use language out of convention where a multilingual person can switch back and forth between languages based upon convention. It also implicitly allows the creation of an abstract and virtual space within the person’s mind that they can switch to—a type of daemon that holds that virtual world.

Paradigms are world views that connote categories, that are dimensions, and relationships among those dimensions create planes and a structured set. Paradigms are supersets of gestalts, defined entities, properties, and language. So, conventionally, you can treat them as a language since a language is the expressions that emerge from the structured sets of the paradigms ontology. Virtually, ontological languages define virtual layers, so you can treat magical systems as virtual machines.

I never ever interact with magical systems on low levels; rather, it’s all high level and abstract. There’s a level of skepticism there, on a low level, albeit there is a temporary suspension of belief. Technique-wise, I create ontological domains and systems of daemons, i.e., servitors, where the servitors function as personas that I can shift in and out of via ostension.

Ontologically, languages can define universes. I am skipping over the epistemological and ontological issues of whether or not these universes exist. In Boolean Logic, whether or not an instance of a set exists such that we can measure it is irrelevant, so from a Boolean perspective, we can just focus on the logical operations without getting into having an instance of that universe we can point to.

The idea of an ontological language defining a universe may seem pretty abstract. An entity is just a thing. It’s an object. I’m a physical entity; therefore, I have physical properties like Chemistry. Chemistry has things like formulas which we can express and measure in the symbolic language of Math. I am a physical entity that exists in the physical world where my existence emerges from physical rules and properties, so physical relationships and symmetries are intrinsic to me.

Analytically, paradigms are abstractions of structured sets that connote symbols. Languages that emerge from those models define virtual universes via the stories that emerge. We can treat magical paradigms as analogous to the high levels of computers where an Operating System is a virtual layer and machine. Beyond a convenient, concrete analogy, I am not saying that our brains are computers or that magic can be grounded in any computational model. It’s a metaphor. We can treat magical systems as virtual layers; therefore, we can avoid internalizing magical paradigms if we abstract it within layers of symbolism and treat it as the rules of a game instead of a theory.

I am simply saying that we can approach different magical paradigms as operating in different universes, which allows us to abstract and use it in ways that do not displace our initial way of interacting with the world. We can intuitively approach it as we do a fictional universe or the rules of a video game.

So creating systems of abstractions is the same thing as virtualizing something. I’m a Linux User, but sometimes I have to use Windows. I run a virtual machine when I have to use Windows. I treat magical paradigms the same way. I utilize magical systems within layers of abstractions to create a sandboxed off virtual realm to keep negative effects at bay. Creating a magical system of your own and translating one system into another version via interpretation creates a virtual instance that you can enhance by further abstracting it via homotopies. The instance of a magical entity from a magical paradigm is isolated from the rest of me via layers of symbolic abstractions that leave it within its own virtual layer.

Does the existence of magic make me think physical reality is a simulation? No. The elegant expression of a mathematical statement is the reduction of it to a True or False answer. When trying to prove something by induction, you’re essentially looking for a case that is True or False. A language is a superset of entities that are symbols joined together by operators. Languages can be reduced to base-2 expressions—binary strings. Any answer to a question or a description that can be mathematically described can be modeled via a binary string and expressed digitally.

Simulation theories are just as largely unfalsifiable as theistic or teleological ideas of intelligent design. From an inductive perspective, both simulation theories and beliefs about intelligent design converge on the same thing. Dev and God, in that context, connote the same thing. The testable parts of whether our world is a simulation are looking for artifacts. While the idiom “glitch in the matrix” relates to paranormal things, the evidence would be more mundane. An example of an artifact is the set speed of a CPU as compared to the speed of a simulation. The speed of a simulation is limited by the speed of a CPU; therefore, it can create an artifact. The physical equivalent of lagging would be a good indicator along with spontaneous loss of resolution, i.e., continuous, smooth things suddenly become discrete, sharp, and broken.

No, I don’t believe the universe is a simulation. However, the existence of magical and psychic phenomena implies that the physical world is emergent and therefore a phase state. In a similar way, ice water and liquid water are phase states; the physical world is a phase state that’s metaphorically harder, denser, more ordered, and more cohesive. I believe the world is like a crystal that emerges from a psychic domain. It would be a solid as compared to a gas, albeit there is a case for time being more like a liquid since time flows.
