“Money as a Data Compression Technology and Derivative of Reality”
What’s the role of money? Why is it so difficult to define? Why do men fight and die over it? It seems like these should be simple questions, but there are no simple answers. Any explanation always seems to fall short. Money has an indelible entanglement with how human beings relate to reality and truth and as a result, money seems to assume the ineffable and absolute qualities of reality and truth.
According to modern physics, the fundamental nature of reality is energy exchange, which necessarily implies an intrinsic consciousness at the most fundamental level of reality expressing the value that drives this exchange. The process of exchange (reality) is ever increasing in complexity and with increased complexity of exchange comes increased complexity of value expression or conscious expression. Reality is the market of and for conscious expression. In essence, reality is the medium of conscious energy exchange and the bearer of consciousness itself. It’s the measure of, expression of, and the bearer of consciousness. Reality is the absolute market and medium of conscious energy exchange for conscious realization. In other words, reality is the absolute ledger of consciousness, realizing itself.
Human consciousness is emergent from this absolute reality and market of conscious energy exchange, but consciousness contains within itself an insatiable desire to expand and realize itself. Individual human consciousness is bounded by the perception of spacetime and physical reality, thus limiting the potential for conscious expansion and realization. These limitations are in direct conflict with reality’s prime directive, realize and expand consciousness. As a work around, we created a clever abstraction called money, which increases our potential for of conscious energy exchange, expansion and realization.
Human beings created money to function as a derivative of reality, making reality the underlying asset of money. Its job is to augment conscious energy exchange, while truthfully reflecting its underlying. Individual human consciousness has limited computational ability, and the perception and constraints of spacetime physical reality are a result of a computational bottleneck. Our constrained computational capacity limits our ability to perceive reality in its true wholeness. What we experience as spacetime physical reality is the conscious expression of a computational bottleneck in human consciousness. Money was created to help solve for this computational shortcoming. Money as a derivative layer allows humans to network and distribute the computational load required to see the truth of reality the beyond the bounds of spacetime. Money does not allow us to exchange across spacetime, but instead allows conscious exchange beyond the illusion of spacetime and its perceived constraints. The aim of money is to enable a single human consciousness the ability to ascertain a truth of reality without the encumbrance of the computational complexity that comes with dealing directly with reality as an individual human consciousness. A distributed network of money and money users does this by functioning as a data compression network for reality. Data compression is a reduction in the number of bits needed to represent data form. In this case, it’s better thought of as the reduction in the number of data points required by an individual to determine the truth of reality. It reduces the computational load for the individual by distributing the computational load to all money users. As a result, money increases the rate at which individual human beings can know and update themselves to the state of reality and update reality to the state of themselves, without the computational bottleneck and perceived limitations of spacetime. Money expands the potential for conscious energy exchange beyond these perceived constraints. With each additional user of money, the network’s computational power increases, which allows the truth of reality to be more accurately compressed into a data format we call price. Through price and markets, money allows the truth of reality to guide an individual’s actions and exchange without needing complete knowledge of the underlying state of reality. For example, if there is rice shortage on the opposite side of the world and people are starving to death, demand for rice increases. Through price and markets using money, this demand for rice would drive the price of rice up, signaling market participants to produce and exchange for more rice. Market participants would know the truth, that more rice is needed, without ever having known that people were starving due to a rice shortage on the other side of the world. Money enhances the flow of conscious energy exchange by reducing the number of data points required for the individual to ascertain the truth of reality, thus augmenting conscious energy exchange. The use of true money elevates individual consciousness through a reduction of the computational load required to know the truth of reality. Money does not provide a higher-resolution map of reality but it does provide a wider framing, allowing for directional truth to be more fully known and conscious expansion to be more fully pursued.
However, money like any other derivative, is only as reliable as its ability to truthfully track the underlying thing it represents. If money deviates from that which it is derived, it distorts the perception of reality. False money misguides the conscious energy exchange and the actions of its users. It causes a fundamental distortion of the consciousness of the money user. Money is an incredible technology, but the importance of its integrity is impossible to overstate. Money is a derivative of reality and as such, it directs the conscious exchange and action of human beings and ultimately human civilizations. If the money becomes corrupt, every action and abstraction downstream of the money becomes corrupted, including the ability to perceive the truth of reality.
