in a holonomic (not holographic, holonomic) universe, a single sample *twist* is enough to leapfrog from that motion to any other experience in that universe. which is and isn't like an encoding trick. it's more like .. a way to be. deeply-typed motion.
in such a universe, the subject/object split becomes subject/subject: every motion is a measurement of the whole, so every locus of motion is a *measurer*, i.e. a subject, something adding perspectival information to the universe. what you observe to be coherently *itself* counts as observer for the purposes of your experience (*yours*, no other observer's), like what's alive for you *is alive for you*. or here, a negative test: if you can see a green thumb being a green thumb, you'll never find one co-occurring with a p-zombie.
every object being an observing subject means that awareness has thermodynamics, i.e. the way patrolling NPCs with vision cones and a hearing radius might set each other off, the effect rippling out before burning out. *that* effect, but the awareness travels through ~~everything~~ everyone else, too, not just the ones you're avoiding. awareness has a type structure, and pressure running through it. like, you can play tennis with a black hole if your ~subtle body is made of Hawking radiation.
which lands us on the observer effect. looking at things ticks type evolution forward in ways that backpropagate structured type pressure. it's not retrocausal record-keeping, you're just checking type indicators after applying type pressure in a holonomic universe. that's ordinary causality, nothing's broken, your records are keeping themselves, is all, and you're learning that undo is more like an inverse redo. wanna help me expand HIPAA for holonomic type-safety? I'm thinking actuarial dagger categories 🤩
(writing because I want this visibly on record in my universe and I haven't seen it before. this annotation is part of the piece because this is how you'd write this kind of thing if you were creating legibility-of-actuality pressure. deeply-typed motion.)
