Chapter 3: Eric's Universe's Foundation
Before Eric completed worldbuilding, the worldbuilding process occured in a worldbuilding domain within the VRC's Simulation. Eric was there with the entity, who revealed himself as a human VRC representative. He has a surgical BCI implant with a USB-like port flush with his skull's surface. He manually connects a USB-like cable from this port to a VRC computer networked with the VRC's computers, including the ones Eric is connected to. This cabled connection provides the VRC representative an AI assistant that is always accessing all VRC computer data, including Eric's and the VRC representative's brain activity.
Via the AI interpreting both their brain activity data—including neural patterns triggering specific thoughts when neurons fire—the AI verbally conveys Eric's thinking to the representative, sometimes even while Eric is still trying to figure out the best words/wording for what Eric is trying to convey. The connection-setup is configured to send the VRC representative's verbal messages as artificial "custom signals" that the "BCI computer hardware that Eric is connected to" sends directly to Eric's brain, producing the thought-based communication that the VRC representative had previously explained.
Eric began creating his own simulation-universe. Worldbuilding domains aren't worlds or universes themselves—they're parts of the VRC's single application called the Simulation.
Eric's Systems and Sections of Information describe only the simulation version of non-fiction/non-abstract existences. Everything in this simulation is referred to as though it were the actual thing it simulates.
"Eric's starting template: Earth from the non-digital universe running this simulation, rendered as identically as possible, but only "what does not conflict with any of "what I've already informed you of"". The VRC made many things clear, one of those things being: nothing in the Simulation enables anyone to do things via will alone that they couldn't do via will alone outside it—VRC members included."
"Once Eric's template was applied, he was able to modify, add to, and/or remove elements.
Throughout Eric's Systems and Sections, "observable" means "able to be observed at some point" and/or "physical, non-mental happenings or states (excluding brain activity)."
All exceptions are described within Eric's Worldbuilding Process.":
Everything described in Eric's Systems and Sections becomes unchangeable, permanent, never-endingly so throughout Eric's universe starting the millisecond Eric first controls his avatar.
"Eric's sections of information:
"Except for all that is specified otherwise in regarding all Eric's sections of information, all Eric's sections of information are regarding "what physical form 1 entails":
"Section 0001:
"These permanent "universe laws/rules" "apply and are in effect" from now on:
1. Only conscious thinking existences requiring biological components to think/be conscious qualify as alive/living conscious thinking existences. Physical forms 1, 2, 3, 4, and/or spirit/soul form are singular, unique, and there is not able to be more than one physical form 1, physical form 2, physical form 3, physical form 4, and/or spirit/soul form. Auras are never biological and/or thinking existences.
2. Except when it comes to any magical auto-response, "doing/creating magic requires at least one particular observable physical action, physical movement, gesture, or audible utterance (varies per individual)—whether using the same such observable doing(s)-requirements for multiple magical effects or different such observable doing(s)-requirements for different effects".
3. Except when it comes to any magical auto-response, "channeling/coursing/gathering/manipulating magic requires at least one particular observable physical action, movement, gesture, or utterance per magical effect (varies per individual)—whether identical actions for multiple effects or different actions for different effects".""
"Section 0002:
"From this moment forward in Eric's universe, these "universe laws/rules" apply permanently:
1. Thinking existences always retain their ability to move/will things as they could in the 9 minutes before Eric first controlled his avatar.
2. Spirits and souls are the same thing; conscious thinking existences are not able to cease to exist.
3. Technology operates within pre-simulation physics except via magic.
4. ""A magical "black hole that entails extreme gravity"" via an existence's magic" is able to exist but only lasts 2 seconds and is not able to be larger than 10 feet
5. Gravity works in accordance with pre-simulation physics except via magic.
6. "Anyone/Anything physical" of the same physical/spirit/soul form (regarding physical forms 1, 2, 3, 4 and spirit/soul form) are not able to occupy the same exact spacial coordinates except that Physical Form 1 and spirit/soul form are able to occupy same space simultaneously.
7. One's conscience is one's internal moral awareness only.
8. One's consciousness never ends—even unconscious thinking existences dream consciously; spirits/souls remain conscious.""
"Section 0003:
"This permanent "universe law/rule" "applies and is in effect" from now on:
Nothing can cease to exist except as was possible in the 9 minutes before Eric first controlled his avatar—excluding "all "Eric's sections of information" info" that conflict with such.""
"Section 0004:
"These permanent "universe laws/rules" "apply and are in effect" from now on:
1. No biological thinking existence can be multiple thinking units (except composite units with multiple thinkers).
2. Multi-brain composite organisms = multiple individual conscious "thinking existences" (one per brain), each with separate consciousness, sharing one physical form.
3. Multi-'cognitive function performers' composite organisms = multiple individual conscious "thinking existences" (one per 'cognitive function performers'), each with separate consciousness, sharing one physical form.
4. Any 'conscious "biological thinking organism" with its own consciousness' cannot use another being's consciousness as its own.
5. Biological lifespans, energy outputs, and computer behavior in Eric's Universe are constrained to pre-simulation parameters except via magic, and singularity formation is impossible.
6. Magical illusions/teleports: max 7-second duration
7. Per thinking existence per 24hrs: max 6 times sensing others' magical illusions, max 6 times being magically teleported by others, max 18 magical self-teleports of max 15 units each, max 18 magical illusions affecting max 15 units each
8. Magical teleports must go to: unoccupied space, not inside thinking existence ≥1100% teleporter's size, physically compatible space, whole units only
9. Thinking existences under 70128 hours old: immune to magical illusions and can't be magically teleported
10. Regarding for AGI, all simulated versions of disorientation are via simulated disorientation/"disorientation-like experiences/undergoings/effects that are ""simulated to be as similar to "non-digital disorientation/"disorientation-like experiences/undergoings/effects)" as possible" via "digital configurations""
11. All "conscious thinking existences who/that begin as physical form 1" is able to become ""become "spirit/soul, physical form 2, and/or physical form 3"" only via Eric's One's-Still-Existing-After-Own-Death System"
12. "At Eric's Universe, there is always at least one "magical portal for travel-connection purposes" that connects Eric's Universe to another simulation-universe of the simulation-multiverse, but a different "such kind of magical portal" for each different simulation-universe of the simulation-multiverse" and such magical portals enable travel between the simulation-universes of the simulation-multiverse
13. Magic can't be used to create living existences except via "what is granted via "wishes granted by a wish-granter"" that comply with ""Eric's sections of information" as a whole"
14. Magical healing/restoration/reparation/regeneration must generate all biological components needed, scale proportionally from 1–100% output, continue until exhaustion, and instantly reattach disconnected parts
15. Exhaustion can only occur via "non-digital ways, the simulated ways that are supposed to simulate non-digital ways, and all ways-that-exhaustion-occurs specified in Eric's sections of information
16. Physical conscious thinking existences can only become non-biological via "what is granted via "wishes granted by wish-granters""""
"Section 0005:
"From now on, these permanent "universe laws/rules" override all that conflicts with such:
1. Experiences can't be shared between separate existences (except when multiple consciousnesses somehow share one physical form).
2. Biological parts can't be shared/used between separate existences (except for compatible medical transplants, or when consciousnesses share one form).
3. Ways of detection, free will, mental activity, and thinking are locked to how they worked 9 minutes before Eric entered the simulation (except through specific self-magical-modifications)""
"Section 0006:
"From now on, these permanent "universe laws/rules" override all that conflicts with such:
Will is eternal and unmanipulable. While an existence is non-dead, that existence is not able to be spirit/soul form. Death is in accordance with only Eric's system. Non-biological "conscious thinkers" count as biological for their irreparably being not able to function, which counts as their death and such death shall always count as """biological death" and "having biologically died"" and "is a time they did biologically die"". Ovum-sized cells stay as they were pre-simulation. Abstract concepts/forces/sensations can't be conscious existences and/or physical matter.""
