« How Fact Becomes Fiction (or How 3D Becomes Zero D) »

Reality is 3D.

Sensation (sensory perception of reality) is 2D.

Consciousness (awareness of the sensory input about reality) is 1D, i.e. dimensionless (zero-D).

(After all, one dimension is no dimension (a dimension needs a second one just to be in the first place)).

My dimensionless point is this: cognition reduces the volume of "what actually is" down to an illusory plane of dimensionality.

And that's how, my fellow mind, the 3D Fact of Reality becomes another dimensionless fiction of our thoughts about it.
