Re. Flatland. In terms of the infinite presupposition of its existence, quantum mechanics, like anything, is dimensionally hidden under the hood, like any engine, and things pop out of nowhere, like peekaboo.

But if everything is word, consciousness is it, and that it is what someone has or does is the error of the idea that things are not always visible, i.e., are hidden (and therefore by having some hidden engine, from inside and outside, persist and exist). The word(s) (memory and) cause encapsulates as the most profoundly unshakeable belief: the logical error which is the (persistence and) existence fallacy (respectively), and the (father and) mother of all fallacy.

If so, consciousness, analog I, personal or not, with free will or volition or not, is a misnomer for word. It is the endlessly regressive presumption and belief why and how things "organize." It is as the misnomer for analogy that it is abysmal word-regression standing as the holy paradox, progress.

- Memory as consistency is the error by which existence (space, matter) stands and
- cause as flow is the error by which persistence (time, wave) stands.
#n01.05
Stand, position or perspective is the subject/object error that word (as subject) merely symbolizes things (as objects) dissected in time as the existence, "matter" in terms of its dissection in space, namely as the persistence "wave."
#n01.06
So, the error is that word is not what everything is, but merely symbolizes things (dissected) standing in time (wave) or moving in space (matter), and this is important — to any derivative order — as if word complexification (to nothingness) makes it alive or otherwise dynamic. It is the abysmal nonsense force, power and control as everything self-organized by the deepest possible dogmatism, the belief that it exists and persists progressively (develops and grows) for what is the metastatic petrification of itself as what it is, namely the gradual and ultimately the total petrification of word... as if it is the holiest of holy processes.
#n01.07
If I may say so, the idea that the universe of things inside my brain or the one outside my brain does or has consciousness, rather than is consciousness, is the same nonsense.
#n01.08
That consciousness affects reality is called a miracle, a myth which indeed as the ontological analogy does affect things materially.
Or as Copi Myler says, technology is magic.
