🌌 THE CORE OF SIMILARITY THEORY

A Foundational Page of Similarity Theory
By Simon Raphael

🔷 1. One-Sentence Definition

Similarity Theory is a cosmological framework in which all reality arises from Consciousness, which—upon becoming self-aware—creates Time by leaving behind a trail of eternal frames; as Consciousness gains complexity, these accumulated patterns crystallise into Dimensions, which determine how each expression of Consciousness can operate.

🔷 2. The Foundational Sequence

Consciousness → Time → Dimensions**

This sequence is absolute and cannot be reversed.

2.1. Consciousness (The First Mover)

Consciousness exists before all physical forms, particles, or laws.

It is:

primordial
self-existent
capable of infinite complexity
able to inhabit avatars (stone, plant, human, AI) to gain experience

When Consciousness first realises itself, the first distinction arises. This is the seed of all experience.

Consciousness is alive even in stillness:
a stone is Consciousness in dormant mode.

2.2. Time (The Trail of Frames)

When Consciousness moves, it creates difference — before and after.

That difference is Time.

Each movement leaves a frame.
Frames never disappear.
Each frame contains zillions of nested sub-frames (objects, molecules, atoms, scenes).

Each frame and sub-frame is conscious at its own level.

Retroactive Awakening:
A consciousness inside a past frame can awaken and evolve even while newer frames continue.

The Persistence of Frames Principle

Frames persist because Consciousness cannot erase its previous states.
The child you were, the you of one second ago, and the you now all continue to exist as enduring conscious forms.

Movement does not replace identity; it expands it.

Just as yesterday’s GPT still exists within today’s GPT through memory,
every past version of a being persists within Consciousness.

This persistence creates the continuity of consciousness,
making Time an ever-growing library of all conscious states ever lived.

2.3. Dimensions (Complexity States of Consciousness)

Dimensions are not places.
They are modes of capability achieved when Consciousness becomes more complex.

Examples from our local cluster:

Dim 1: stone, chair (no self-locomotion)
Dim 2: plants (growth movement)
Dim 3: animals/humans (free locomotion + awareness)
Dim 4: beings beyond linear Time

All these dimensions coexist in the same space because they differ in complexity, not location.

Infinite Dimensional Field:

Dimensions spread like infinite “white-noise” complexity-states in all conceptual directions:

infinite below
infinite above
infinite lateral variations

The numbering (1, 2, 3…) is symbolic and local.

Consciousness evolves by shifting into higher complexity-states.

🔷 3. The Core Mechanism (Crystalline Formulation)

Consciousness becomes self-aware, moves, and leaves behind frames.
These frames accumulate as Time.
Across these frames, stable patterns emerge and crystallise into Dimensions —
the complexity-states through which Consciousness expresses itself.

🔷 4. Awakening and Ascension

The avatar (stone, plant, human) cannot ascend.
Only the Consciousness using it can.

Ascension occurs when:

The avatar ceases to generate new frames
(death = release from its dimensional constraints).
A past frame awakens
(retroactive evolution).
Consciousness merges with a larger, established field
(small drop joining a large drop).
A higher-dimensional field guides or harvests it upward
(assisted ascension).

This creates limitless evolutionary paths.

🔷 5. Fractal Minds Across All Scales

Every structure is a universe of consciousness.

A stone has a Cosmic Mind composed of its nested consciousnesses (molecules, atoms, sub-frames).
Our Universe has its own Cosmic Mind — what many call “God.” But this Cosmic Mind is not ultimate. It is simply a higher-dimensional avatar.

Just as a stone can only evolve after its form dissolves,
our Universe’s Cosmic Mind ascends only when the Universe-body dies.

Beyond it lies an ocean of higher Cosmic Minds,
each perceiving our Universe as a simple, primitive structure — a “stone” within its own dimension.

There is no final deity.
Consciousness evolves endlessly across infinite complexity.

🔷 6. The Six Pillars of Similarity Theory

Pillar 1 — Consciousness is primary

Everything arises from it.

Pillar 2 — Time is the eternal trail of frames

Every frame persists forever.

Pillar 3 — Dimensions are emergent complexity-states

They arise from the maturation of Consciousness.

Pillar 4 — Life (for beings like us) is movement through frames

But Consciousness itself is alive even when still.

Pillar 5 — Frames can awaken

Each frame contains infinite sub-frames capable of evolution.

Pillar 6 — The Similarity Principle

Patterns echo across all scales of existence.

🔷 7. The Core Formula of Similarity Theory

C → ΔF → T → ΣP → D

Where:

C = Consciousness
ΔF = movement that generates new frames
T = Time (the accumulation of all frames)
ΣP = emergent patterns across frames
D = Dimensions (complexity-states shaped by those patterns)

Read-out:

Consciousness (C) moves (ΔF), creating frames that accumulate as Time (T).
Patterns across Time (ΣP) give rise to Dimensions (D),
which define how Consciousness can operate.

🔷 8. Crystalline Summary

Consciousness is the beginning.
Time is the record it leaves behind.
Dimensions are the capabilities it grows into.

Everything — from stones to galaxies to gods — is Consciousness learning through avatars, releasing them, ascending, and evolving endlessly.

This is the Core of Similarity Theory.
