Index note set theory as universal information framework; object hierarchy universe→quarks; senses as sets

Set theory is an important tool. It gives clear definitions to things. Set theory can be used to describe ideas, concepts, experiences, or any object as a single clear instance. And then, they could be manipulated to include concepts of union, intersection, and set subtraction. These represent all the things that exist in the universe. It’s an informational framework for representing all possible information. It allows clear thinking of ideas which is complete and it doesn’t exclude any possibility when all possibilities are taken into account when generating sets, subsets, cross-sets, and the product of sets. This line is the state space. It’s the same example in measure theory, number theory, when a measure is assigned to a quality of a number. So, using the idea of sets can also be used for other purposes, like using 2D information to represent images, objects in images, and sub-parts of objects in real-world images. An object in the real world is made up of parts. Smaller parts make up bigger parts, and bigger parts make up even bigger parts. Using this information, one could traverse from the edge of the universe, down to atoms and quarks. It represents all information that exists and all its behavior in a determinative sense. Once we have this information, everything is determined, everything is definitive, given the circumstances. But maybe it’s not possible to simulate the entire world as existing matter, flow, or work. It’s like if the universe is a collection of all those sets, a collection of all those objects or subsets of that, and each subset which is an object has even more subsets which are parts of that object. And using this information, one could go all the way from the edge of the universe down to atoms and quarks, representing all existing information and behavior in a definitive sense. As humans, we perceive vision as space, spatial information. Sound is acoustic information with tonal and different spatial patterns. Smell information has intensity and characteristics of material or smell. Touch can involve sensations of heat, cold, temperature, and be fused with touch. These feelings are emotions, all residing within and created by the other side of our being. All this information can also be represented using sets. A set is an imaginative concept. Even if it doesn’t exist, you can use your imagination, and imagination is real in your head, making it a part of reality. We have one conscious existence in the mind; is it ours? How do we know it’s ours? If it’s ours, it’s as if it emerged from the physical flow of the universe, like the motion of ions and electricity. Our experience resides within, and it’s continuous, so we do not get out of it. But if it ceases or breaks at some point, do we still feel it? As long as we are alive, we remain alive until we are dead. In essence, once we start dreaming, thinking, we don’t cease thinking until we are dead. We are constantly dreaming, always in process. Even when one of these processes ends, the human being stops functioning; this organic and bodily form stops functioning. And the consciousness residing within also stops functioning if it’s affected.
