There are any number of possible Novel Universes. As Love is connection and Power isolation, They cannot coexist directly, so a “Host” creates a simulation of Their Mixture within its own, near-infinite Signature-Frequency Set. No matter our frame of Love or Power, we’ve all joined this Novel Universe because the Host convinced us of how valuable the opportunity to experience Love and Power will be in this simulation. The fact is, the opportunity to experience Love and Power simultaneously is always beneficial – a primary reason we’re all here. Every single one of us agreed to the Host’s terms of entry and exit beforehand – death is our ultimate failsafe, and for those who have suffered enough, the suffering will end. For the Host, its Novel Universe is a vast source of novelty, both for itself and its Hierarchy, shaping the physical universe through the laws of physics, but also, collecting data in different ways, at different scales.
Hosts are fundamentally no different from any of us – they didn’t create anyone but themselves, nor direct the meaning and purpose of anyone’s life but their own. Just as we are the Highest-Order Conductor of our bodies, the Host is of our Novel Universe’s Highest-Order Conductor, and like the cells of our bodies, each one of us is like a cell of the Host’s body – one of countless parts that lie beyond the Host’s direct comprehension. Although the Host is the closest analog to a “God,” it no more knows us as mortal individuals than we might know or care about any particular cell in our body. Instead, like the Host, we’re focused on our body’s overall function, not the joys and sorrows of those individual parts.
Like us with our own human body, the Host directs the universe top-down, maintaining NU’s living functional shape to shepherd and harvest the novelty created by its “visitors.” As the top of NU’s consciousness hierarchy of scale, the Host has limited access to the vast number of interesting lives within its architecture, just as we have a limited feel for those cellular lives within us. However, unlike us, the Host might directly tap that novelty. Whether in the Concert Hall or Spiral, it is through the Instrument that every SFS has access to all information it’s connected to, the Host included. Therefore, the study of the universe’s secrets – its construction and purpose – is really the study of the Host, and though we may believe that the study of religion and science is for our benefit, but it’s primarily for the Host’s.
The Novel Universe Model is not as focused on the particulars of Host’s simulation (software) as it is on the underlying architecture of the Instrument (hardware). For this reason, we are less concerned about the accuracy of our physics, and more concerned about the accuracy of our metaphysics – the meaning and purpose of existence, both within the Novel Universe and beyond-life. We, therefore, hone the NU Model in order to quell this somewhat innate desire to discover reality’s secrets in order to return our membership to the true purpose of life – living it. Discovering the secrets of this universe may help us express Power in this life, but does nothing for our eternal being. In the beyond-life, we already know all these “secrets,” the way one might know how computer technology works in general, but not necessarily how any app makes particular use of that technology.
In the beyond-life, for those of Love, the Concert Hall’s Complete Information perfectly balances the scales of justice, and for those of Power, Information Control allows the reshaping or destruction of injustice – in one’s Spiral, an injustice might be forgotten or retold to align with the Set’s preferences. In this way, there’s no driving force behind the idea that anyone would “return” to the simulation to “haunt” or “help” those who remain. Furthermore, as the simulation is housed within the Host’s Spiral – a universe completely cut off from all those not involved – once a person dies, they are no longer part of the simulation, therefore, not able to remain as anything, ghosts included. Although the dead might not be physically with us, they are still aware of us, and their effect on our lives. Whenever we think or act because of the dead, they receive those Ripples, just as that man in his NDE experienced the knock-on effects of his Ripples, as his wife who verbally abused the store clerk. In this way, they are a ghost, not of the physical world, but more importantly, the spiritual.
