Ah, I’ve also happened upon something similar, Rodrigo. But, this was actually an alternate understanding of a quantum theory on the Many-Worlds Interpretation, basically stating that every thought we ever conceived, now conceive and will conceive branches the universal timeline to the infinitum so as to allow every possible outcome to every event define or exist in its own “history” or “world” via, not such a complexity as quantum decoherence, but mere thought…
I don’t know which I’d prefer, though; the classical understanding of MWI, or the alternative philosophy? Theoretically, the classical understanding would strike more harmony… But ultimately it doesn’t matter because, given the nature of infinity, everything and not will come to pass, eventually. “Everything” because there is infinity - “not” because therein lies infinite possibilities.
Given the immeasurable vastness of the universe (though, I’m speaking generically - it could very well be a multi- or omniverse), it’s seemingly inexhaustible energy and what little we really know about it, I’m willing to entertain the theory. Presuming it is true, I think it’s comical in its own sense… we’re basically incompetent, novice gods - if that’s how one would define a “god”.
Then again, it’s just a theory. A very ambiguous one at that. It makes me recall this quote for some reason or another: “Quantum mechanics… the dreams that stuff is made of.”
Maybe I was skeptical at first on the prospect, but now I’m actually very interested. Impossible is nothing, right? In that case, I’ll ponder this “phenomenon” and actually test it out. I believe something else was holding me back, though… who to choose first? I have a large assembly of characters I have pre-developed for story purposes, and even though I select favorites at times, I sympathize with them all just the same. I guess it sounds pretty silly…
I think I’ll start neutral and select a recent DC. Taking the time to design a new character afresh would not only take an unnecessary amount of time, but probably further complicate my dilemma, thus only perpetuating the initial problem.
No. A preconceived DC is not only more convenient, but it also does not put me at odds with my other characters. I can focus primarily on the actual personality of the DC and not my own prepossessed thoughts of a long-established character, thereby destroying a significant amount of inclination to “puppeteering”.
In fact, I think I might work with two characters… one male and one female. It’s nice to have an opinion from both sides. I’ll begin with one - to see how well the exercises proceed - then I’ll follow up with the second DC soon afterward. I’ll look through my DJ now to determine who I’m going to choose…
