There are three major components or conceptual places, the Self, other Visitors, and the construct where these entities reside I'll call Reality. Each of these things interact with the others to help create all the experiences that we have. Many of these interactions are subtle and nuanced which helps create a wide diverse experience that we see as life and the space beyond what we call life. # Self Who we are is made from three things, perception, memory, and decision. Notice that these three things are conceptual and not physical structures. We are outside of the physical world, but perceive the world. What we perceive are qualia that can be physical components, but many are not. What we remember are constructs of qualia, pieced together to become more than the sum of their parts that build understanding and meaning. How we build these memories is through decisions made based upon the perceptions that we have. These three things interact constantly to create the nature of each of us. # Visitors Visitors are the other entities that are not yourself. They too have perception, memory, and make decisions just as you do. The key difference is that the whole of their being is disconnected from you. All of our memories are separate from one another, as are our perceptions and decisions. There is still the capability to interact between visitors and the self, allowing for all the connections that we make across our existence. The nature and pattern of these connections change, as they are facilitated by the Reality that we all share. # Reality Our selves and the other visitors reside within reality, a collaborative concept that facilitates perception, memory, and decision. Reality is the medium through which qualia flow, memory is assembled, and decision occurs. This backdrop also allows the universe to be present for, and allows the self and visitors to interact with it. # The Nature of Interaction There are two major ways of interaction with each other. The first involves interaction with and through a physical medium, the universe. The second method is a direct sharing of experience between two or more individuals. These two methods express themselves in very different ways however, and lead to different results as well. When viewing a universe, the qualia of the experience of that universe are made part of the self through its own unique perspective. The experienced qualia then become a part of the wider whole of that self, a memory and part of the decision making process. We experience this as living in the world. Interacting with another person in this world creates qualia that become part of those are are experiencing the interaction. When no longer viewing the universe, two beings can interact. Without a stabilizing space like a universe to work with though, the interaction would be subjective for each party based on the qualia the selves have to work with. If one self has an experience of a rain forest but the other does not, this could create a barrier to the interaction or the interaction is experienced differently between the two. This doesn't make learning impossible, but it may make it harder and limit the kinds of interaction that is possible between them. # Conclusion Each of us are beings that move from life experience to life experience to grow out understanding and capacity to experience. We live a lifetime to grow our context and understanding of ourselves, others, and the wider reality we inhabit. This would mean there is a space we return to after death in the physical world. There are others we have interacted in past lives and forms within reality. Each of us grow and change from moment to moment as our exercising of decision and memory incorporate qualia into our being. --- # Apendix ## Definitions **Qualia** - Subjective experiences in the form of Sensations, images, feelings and thoughts.¹ **Visitor** - **Reality** - **Universe** - ## References 1.
