The non-separate model

Hypothesis: Nothing in reality is truly separate from anything else.
For example, orthogonal dimensions are not really separate from each
other but rather aspects of the same underlying fundamental reality.
We can call the fundamental undivided reality Noumenon, and the
appearance of separate things Phenomena.
Noumenon is a void without any concrete appearance or structure, but we
can model Noumenon as a configuration space of all possible states of
information. Think of Noumenon as a void containing all possibilities.
Phenomena appear when the one single and universal quantum wave
function collapses into one state of information, or, rather, Phenomena
IS one (attempt of a) concrete state within configuration space of
Noumenon. Phenomena - which is every concrete object in reality, such
as spacetime, matter, energy e t c - has no independent existence.
So how can the be change and motion in the universe if Phenomena is
only one point in the configuration space of Noumenon? The answer is
that the point representing Phenomenon is never concretized, and always
remains only a virtual POTENTIAL for a concrete state. This point has
no ACTUAL beginning in time, and no end in time. This point creates the
flow and arrow of time by being indefinite and never being able to be
exactly concretized.
Phenomenon is the ever ongoing concretization of a state within
Noumenon. The Big Bang is an APPEARANCE of this single point, and the
entire universe today is an appearance of that SAME point. The point
can be modelled as pure information, but that information itself is
never really concrete information. There can never exist any concrete
information, because there cannot exist anything as a separate "thing".
The "universal" state that this point represents will never be reached.
So, at any given moment, the entire universe is only an approximation
of information, an approxiamtion of separation, not a true separation
from Noumenon, not a true separation of one "point" in Noumenon from
another "point". But this "virtual" point will be more and more defined
as "time" passes, meaning the point will represent more and more
information describing this ongoing concretization.
There is no actual time, only a NOW, but the ongoing concretization of
this virtual point creates the appearane of time in the form of a
history record from the Big Bang up till today. So, even if the Big
Bang in actuality is happening NOW, the appearance is in the form of a
history record of 15 billion years. At the "start" of the Big Bang,
this point was (is) undifferentiated, and the current "end" of the Big
Bang is this present moment, and represents the point in its most
differentiated state.
In order for the point to be totally differentiated it has to be
exactly defined within the configuration space of Noumenon. The point
will NEVER be exactly defined, because that would require a true
separation of the "points" within Noumenon, but that is impossible. The
information required to model this point at the "start" of the Big Bang
is only one bit. The information required to model our present state of
the universe as it appears today requires many, many bits of
information.
To model the next moment will require even more bits. Thus we have the
most simple form of differentiation at the "start" of the Big Bang that
can be modelled by a single bit of information. To model the next
moment after the Big Bang we need two bits of information. To model the
moment after that we need four bits of information, and so on. Each
moment is a seemingly discrete time-slice of Planck time.
Each new moment will contain the double amount of information compared
to the previous moment, and therefore we have the arrow of time, or
what we could call the arrow of increased complexity, which is
responsible for what we call evolution - from the simplest form of
complexity at the Big Bang and the most complex forms which is what we
have today. This explains why evolution seems to unfold at an
exponential rate. For example, it took million of years for evolution
to produce the first living cell, but only a few years for evolution to
produce mobile/cell phones (remember, humanity is not a separate aspect
of evolution, but an inseparable PART of evolution, including
technology).
