About The Other Realm

What is The Other Realm?

To understand the term fundamentally, it makes sense to break things down into the individual words. A realm is a set of applicable theories, laws, and beliefs. Other Realms are realms which are different from currently accepted norms. The Other Realm is a specific instantiation of other realms which is different from the current set of conventional ways of doing thing and seeks to be a better model for the individuals who come to use it.

What are the "theories, laws, and beliefs" applicable to The Other Realm?

Although an inherently dynamic and evolving concept, this is a rough draft of some of the current core philosophies on which The Other Realm will base its subsequent logic:

That oneself is an instantiation of us and that we all exist
That our purpose is to ensure the perpetual net increase in our individual and collective homeostasis while also adding to the individual and collective allostasis of humanity
That anything is related, in some way, to anything else, if only by their lack of any other relation to one another – if things are known, this fact that they are known is a relationship, and if things are unknown, this is also a relationship
That the absence of something is an unknown, not nothing, because there is no way of knowing there is not something without an observer to know that that is the case.
That, in order for something to exist, and not be an unknown, there must be more than one distinguishable thing, because an unknown is a thing, an observer is a thing, and the act of observing something, is a thing
That the conscious self consists of the ability to influence these observable changes
That, by combining these observations and actions into meaningful relationships, we can form encapsulated objects that are distict from their individual parts
That, given the inherent relationship between things, there cannot be known things in isolation
In order for any discrete system to be known, there must be input and output of some kind
Therefore, in order to achieve our purpose, we must maintain a sustained net input into our system by the exchange of resources between our parts and the unknown.

What are some of the current projects The Other Realm is working on?
