- # What this file is trying to do
8
- # ------------------------------
9
- # The essay uses a philosophical image:
10
- #
11
- # • The "Library" is the space of many possible, internally coherent ways
12
- # things could be.
13
- # • The "Path" is the one realized history we actually inhabit.
14
- # • "Observership" is not a godlike view from outside the world. It is a
15
- # process inside the Path: systems make observations, leave records, and
16
- # those records constrain which earlier histories still make sense.
17
- #
18
- # This file translates that idea into semantic data and lightweight rules.
19
- # It is not a physics engine and not a proof of the essay. It is a readable,
20
- # machine-processable toy model inspired by the essay.
21
- #
22
- # Design choices
23
- # --------------
24
- # 1. The model uses five layers, echoing the essay's stacked descriptions:
25
- # quantum, thermodynamic, biological, cognitive, social
26
- # 2. The Library contains multiple possible states and branches.
27
- # 3. The realized Path selects one sequence of states.
28
- # 4. Observations create records.
29
- # 5. Records act as constraints on candidate histories.
