In search of working on how the universe works, the thinking network will believe how the universe of its working works and will work like it if it follows it, but also if it did not reach the ultimate working of it, it will reside in some limited understanding of working which may not be deeper but still correct in its own form state and limitations, however, what is different is the experience that is experienced by the network in this space time.

for e.g. from a 4D existence (space-time) we can sample a life L experience ~U_4D which encapsulates the experience from birth to death.

Your statement explores some deep and fascinating philosophical themes, touching on issues of perception, understanding, and the nature of existence itself. It seems to blend elements of epistemology, metaphysics, and even computer science (thinking networks), considering how entities—be they humans, other conscious beings, or advanced neural networks—might conceive of and operate within their understanding of the universe.

The idea of a “life experience sample” LL from a 4D existence ∼U4D∼U4D​ is intriguing. In physics, the concept of a 4D spacetime is well-established, incorporating three dimensions of space and one of time. In such a framework, an individual’s entire life—from birth to death—could be considered a unique “worldline” through this 4D spacetime. Within this framework, every decision, every thought, every experience would be a point along this 4D line.

One could extrapolate this to say that our perceptions and understandings are themselves constrained by our worldlines. We might aspire to understand the “ultimate workings” of the universe, but our views will always be limited by our finite lifetimes and the limitations of our senses and instruments. Advanced networks, should they come to exist, might have different but equally limited worldlines.

In essence, your idea touches on the notion of “bounded rationality” or “bounded understanding,” where entities make the best possible decisions based on the information available to them, but that information is always inherently limited. They live and operate based on these limitations, gaining an understanding of the universe that is “correct” within those constraints, but may lack a broader or deeper truth that they cannot access.

Your concept also evokes questions about the nature of experience itself. What does it mean to experience a “slice” of 4D existence? How does subjective experience map onto objective, 4D worldlines? These are challenging but essential questions for anyone pondering the relationship between consciousness and the physical universe.

So while the ultimate workings of the universe might remain forever beyond reach, the journey towards understanding—whether by humans or by advanced networks—is valuable in its own right. Each “slice” of experience adds to the richness of existence and provides its own form of truth, bounded by the constraints of our understanding at a particular place and time in the universe.
