This paper explores how individual awareness (soul), brain processing, and environmental influences shape a person's perception of reality. It argues that each person constructs a unique version of reality based on their awareness frequency, neural activity, and environmental factors, leading to what can be described as parallel worlds within a single universe. By integrating perspectives from neuroscience, quantum physics, and consciousness philosophy, this study examines the deep-rooted differences in human perception and how they coexist within a unified framework of universal awareness. Understanding these differences can enhance human relationships, social harmony, and philosophical inquiries into reality.

This research provides insights into:

The role of awareness frequency in shaping individual perception.

How brain function and neurotransmitters influence reality construction.

The impact of environmental conditions on human consciousness.

The philosophical implications of personal realities and universal awareness.


This paper is ideal for researchers and enthusiasts in the fields of neuroscience, philosophy of mind, quantum physics, and consciousness studies.

The discovery of Time Force and Time Energy offers a revolutionary understanding of potential energy accumulation due to time dilation, black hole dynamics, and the interaction between parallel worlds. This paper hypothesizes that black holes act as reservoirs, storing Time Energy by slowing down time. Over cosmic scales, this accumulated energy could trigger events such as the Big Bang, releasing immense Time Force. Additionally, the theory of relativity and quantum tunneling provide a framework to explain why parallel worlds remain perceptible but inaccessible to direct interaction. These findings bridge gaps between relativistic physics and quantum mechanics, offering new perspectives on dimensional access and cosmic evolution.

These are consecutive chapters from Stephen King and Philosophy. Both concern his ideas about time. It is a fairly serious examination of whether King's development from dimensionality (his Tower is a dimensional creation) into time relations and even time travel. in 11/22/63. Auxier deals with the standard paradoxes of time travel and how King gets around them (to the extent he does).

In this paper, we propose a novel robotic action/observation planning method for playing Yamakuzushi game which is a Japanese board game selecting one Shogi piece from the randomly stacked pile and sliding it off the board. In our proposed method, we first select one of the pieces from the pile by referring a human operation characteristics. We use the CNN trained by using the depth image of the pile and the result of human operation. To successfully slide the selected piece off the board without making collision with the neighboring pieces, we formulate the action/observation planning based on the partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP). We select the view pose to obtain enough visibility of the pile around the selected piece. After obtaining the visibility, we determine the direction of piece's motion to avoid the contact with the neighboring objects. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by experiments.

The degree of difficulty is a key element of fun in digital games. Players enjoy games and improve their skills if the difficulty is set in their personal Flow Zones. The existing Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment (DDA) is a suitable technique to automatically control the difficulty within the proper range in games. However, sometimes players feel uncomfortable when they recognize that the difficulty is being modified automatically. We devised a new game design concept called "Dynamic Pressure Cycle Control," which still adds fun for players even when the difficulty exceeds the proper range. Our method's fundamental idea is to modify the difficulty extremely, increasing and decreasing it beyond the Flow Zone. We implemented our method combined with DDA in "Tetris", and conducted experiments to verify it through playtesting. Results show that the proposed method succeeds to add a new element of fun to the game. Also, show the existence of a game design method offers comfort to players even when they recognized the intentional change of difficulty during gameplay time.

Les Voyageurs malgré eux d’Élisabeth Vonarburg fait éclater les repères spatio-temporels selon la poétique de l’uchronie (l’histoire revisitée), sous-genre de la science-fiction (SF). Il s’agit de la présentation d’une histoire alternative de la Nord-Amérique. Les écarts entre l’univers du récit et le monde empirique se manifestent aux niveaux historique (acteurs et événements), politique (pouvoir établi et factions contestataires), démographique (situation physique et conditions socioéconomiques), géographique (à l’échelle urbaine et géologique), ainsi que scientifique et anthropologique (normalisation de dons paranormaux). La distanciation exploitée sert pourtant de rapprochement par analogie, et le récit se prête ainsi à une réévaluation des enjeux historiques et territoriaux du Québec, brouillant l’imaginaire et l’Histoire factuelle. Nous démontrons en quoi les parcours des personnages du roman constituent un métadiscours sur l’expérience de la littérature ; sa production et sa ...

In multiplayer games like poker, it is assumed that small changes in the number of the players do not affect characteristics of the strategies so much. This paper proposes a method to apply strategies learned from games with a smaller number of players to games with a large number of players, by abstracting opponents’ plays. Experiment results on simplified poker games show that the proposed method is effective especially when conventional players cannot learn playing strategies enough.

Broadly speaking, television is regarded as a mass media array providing information and entertainment. From a scientific perspective it also involves artistic features and counts as a highly influential socio-cultural phenomenon. While in this context also pathogenic and pathological aspects have been discussed and studied, health promoting and therapeutic factors of television are still greatly underrepresented in the realm of TV-sciences. On the basis of a random sample of qualitative data and meta-synthetic construction, the present article suggests a preliminary eight-dimensional theoretical framework of TV-therapy: (i) identity fusion and introjection, (ii) parallel worlds and escapism, (iii) subliminal mirroring and self-exploration, (iv) biographical work and self-integration, (v) therapeutic transference and creative coping, (vi) self-administration and self-regulation, (vii) social adjustment and virtual networking and (viii) TV as a source of topics and an incentive for people to communicate. Regarding psychodynamic impacts of television, the article encourages further studies on the interaction between television and individuals with mental conditions such as schizophrenia or eating disorders, as well as health-related TV-education. Television may become an important tool in public health, which calls television programme creators and television production companies into play.

This paper proposes a system using a Minecraft mod for early detection of Alzheimer s disease (AD). In recent years, dementia, including AD, has become a social problem worldwide, and early detection, in particular among young population, is regarded as an important way to prevent it, where spatial navigation is a crucial key. The proposed system is compared with a recent existing and thoroughly studied system using a game called Sea Hero Quest (SHQ), by analyzing spatial navigational patterns of players and their play experiences. Results show that spatial navigational patterns in both systems are highly correlated, indicating that the proposed system should be as effective as the SHQ system for the detection task. In addition, play experiences in the former are better for most investigated factors.

This paper presents scientific reasoning as well as mapping of the concept of Angels to its derived and illustrated meaning of "Light" or "Noor" which in Arabic and in Hebrew refers to body of light in its original meaning. The author in view of illustrated meanings collected from secondary resources and scriptures, has tried to map features of light with those of known characteristics of angels and has derived conclusion on the scientific existence of quantum intranet and internet in infinite phase of time. The Research also highlights the existence of data in quantum waves encapsulated in the infinite loop of time that carries information about every living being existed in world. The paper explains the connectivity between photons to photons, and photons to all other waves within electromagnetic spectrum which is equally mapped over angels to angels and angels to man and other objects in order to compile the concept of angels as information carrier and to keep log of every action and deed. It is also derived that whether or not existence of living creations is over in this world, the data stays in loop of infinity and is catch able out of phases of time. Investigated studies and comparison are made on nature, behaviour, movement, availability, data encapsulation as well as data transmission within photons and derivatives are clearly pointing to the concept of quantum infinity. The recent discovery of gravitational waves by MIT which were resulted after the collisions of black holes and explosive deaths of stars are taken as case study. It is also concluded that logical reasoning of Internet of things and quantum physics strongly exist on common grounds behind the religious faiths based on holy books around the world.

Existing research have investigated the effects of free will belief on aggressive behaviours. So far, studies have shown that when people's free will belief is denied, their motivation of self-control decreases, thereby increasing aggressive behaviours. An alternative and inconsistent account is that people who have strong belief in free will attributes the other party's attack to the actor's intention, which lead them to take revenge. Given that aggressions practically occur within a social interaction, the present study examined the relationship between free will belief and aggression in a social interactive situation. We hypothesized that people who have high free will belief will behave more aggressively when they are attacked by another individual. Based on a sample of 45 undergraduates, we measured free will beliefs and trait aggression as an individual-difference variable. We employed a modification of the Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm in order to measure participants' aggressive behaviours. As a result, the effects of fatal determinism-a subscale of free will-were found significant. Specifically, when participants were unattacked by their interactive partner, those with low fatal determinism belief behaved less aggressively. Incurring no attack from the partner, participants may have experienced higher responsibility for taking aggressive actions themselves. Under such circumstance, having a low fatal determinism belief, and thus regarding their behaviour as undetermined by nature, may have further increased their sense of responsibility, consequently decreasing aggression. In contrast, when participants were attacked by their partner, aggressive behaviours increased on the whole relative to the non-attacked condition; receiving an attack may have simply provoked participants' motivation to revenge. This study highly suggests the relationship between fatal determinism belief and aggression in social interaction situations, offering a ground for future investigations including parameters to further explain the relationship.

The Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics is, inter alia, an interpretation of objective probability: an account of what probability really is. In this respect, it is unlike other realist interpretations of quantum theory or indeed any proposed modification to quantum mechanics (like pilot-wave theory and dynamical collapse theories); in none of these is probability itself the locus of inquiry. As for why the Everett interpretation is so engaged with the question of probability, it is in its nature: its starting point is the unitary, deterministic equations of quantum mechanics, and it introduces no hidden variables with values unknown.

Ce mémoire propose d’étudier la relation qu’entretient la série télévisée Fargo (FX 2014) avec le film éponyme dont elle est inspirée (Coen 1996). Il naît du constat que les études sur ce nouveau phénomène – les adaptations de films en séries – sont isolées et peu nombreuses. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’interroger les modalités de penser les contacts transfictionnels et les transformations opérées par la circulation de contenus entre les médias en proposant une approche spatiale. L’espace conçu en tant qu’abstraction ou matière permettra de compléter les méthodes d’analyse des séries télévisées présentant le temps comme matière principale soumise à la dilatation et entrera en dialogue avec les nouvelles réflexions concernant la notion d'espace au cinéma. Simultanément, l’espace sera la pierre angulaire méthodologique d’une réflexion qui vise à organiser et visualiser les mécanisme complexes d’un phénomène non linéaire. Sur la piste d’une sensation de familier, le mémoire porte une attention particulière aux notions d’itération, de variation et de continuité, centrales dans les études télévisuelles.

This thesis analyzes the relationship between the TV show Fargo (FX, 2014—) and the eponymous film that inspired the series (Coen, 1996), and is a starting point to answering to the lack of studies on this phenomenon – the adaptation of films into TV series. The goal of this research is to examine the modalities of thinking transfictional connections and transformations that emerge from the circulation of contents across distinct media, from a spatial approach. The notion of space conceived as an abstraction or as a material component of the series will add to the existing methods of analysis of TV series. In fact, current methods generally consider time as the main element involved in seriality: this thesis suggest another way to study TV series, dialoguing with the recent reflections based on the notion of space in cinema. Simultaneously, space will act as the methodological cornerstone of an analysis that intends to organize and make the complex mechanisms of a non-linear phenomenon visible. Following a sensation of familiarity experienced during the viewing of the show, this thesis pays particular attention to the ideas of iteration, variation, and continuity, which are essential to Television Studies.

Recently proposed idea of "protective" measurement of a quantum state is critically examined, and generalized. Earlier criticisms of the idea are discussed and their relevance to the proposal assessed. Several constraints on measuring apparatus required by "protective" measurements are discussed, with emphasis on how they may restrict their experimental feasibility. Though "protective" measurements result in an unchanged system state and a shift of the pointer proportional to the expectation value of the measured observable in the system state, the actual reading of the pointer position gives rise to several subtleties. We propose several schemes for reading pointer position, both when the apparatus is treated as a classical system as well as when its quantum aspects are taken into account, that address these issues. The tiny entanglement which is always present due to deviation from extreme adiabaticity in realistic situations is argued to be the weakest aspect of the proposal. Because of this, one can never perform a protective measurement on a single quantum system with absolute certainty. This clearly precludes an ontological status for the wave function. Several other conceptual issues are also discussed.

Chiunque abbia letto (e/o visto) The Man in the High Castle è senz'altro rimasto colpito dall'idea, dapprima sfumata e, via via, sempre più forte, di Nebenwelt, cioè, in tedesco, “mondo parallelo” (caratterizzato nello specifico dal rovesciamento del rapporto tra vincitori e vinti), ragione ed essenza esoterica del libro e, meno esoterica e più concreta, della sua efficace trasposizione, e reinterpretazione, nei quaranta episodi dell'omonima serie TV prodotta da Amazon...

This article focuses on presentation of parallel worlds in the early twentieth century Bengali writer Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’s (1894 - 1950) novel Debjan (1946) [literally, ‘the path of the Gods’]. Bandyopadhyay is known abroad mainly for his novels Song of the Road (in Bengali Pather Panchali, 1929) and Mountain of the Moon (Bengali Chander Pahar, 1937), both of which have been translated into English. But the majority of his works still remain untranslated, including the novel Debjan. Due to the popularity of the film version of Song of the Road, adapted for screen by the veteran Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray, the author is usually viewed as a realist who meticulously depicted the sad plight of the rural poor in colonial Bengal. But Bibhutibhushan also had a prodigious power of imagination, as manifested in Debjan. The novel depicts the afterlife, where the dead protagonists embark on a cosmic odyssey discovering several parallel worlds along the way. Inspired by religious beliefs, literary works have been depicting parallel worlds of the dead ever since the dawn of civilizations. Following Umberto Eco, one may classify such worlds as utopias where the parallel world exists somewhere outside the real world and is normally inaccessible to its inhabitants. From the point of view of researchers in history and cultural studies, such tales interest mainly because they provide us with insight into the religious beliefs and culture of a particular people of a particular age. The distinctiveness of Debjan lies in the fact that its presentation of the afterlife is not entirely based on orthodox Hindu beliefs, even when its author was a Hindu Brahmin by faith. Rather, Bibhutibhushan borrowed much from the tenets of Theosophy to construct his peculiar version of the afterlife in this novel. Though claiming to have its roots in Oriental religions, Theosophy was in reality an Occidental construct which aimed to amalgamate Eastern mysticism with Western occultism. This novel’s mingling of the tenets of Theosophy with those of orthodox Hinduism converts it into a site of encounter between Eastern and Western spiritualism. This article highlights this aspect of the work, something which has escaped the critics’ attention so far. In the process, it pays particular attention to the concepts of “thought form” and tulpa which were popularized in the Anglo-American world by Theosophy and which continue to remain much popular. The basic idea is that the mind or imagination is capable of bringing mental constructs into actual existence through spiritual training and meditation. Bibhutibhushan makes an innovative use of this idea in Debjan. He shows that spirits are capable of producing literally parallel ‘imaginary’ worlds or worlds built with the power of imagination. This is a unique way of imagining parallel worlds in literature, a fact that the article draws attention to. Finally, the article tries to account for the influence of Theosophy on Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay and his generation by taking into consideration both the author’s biography as well as the historical developments in that age.

Homo sapiens is a storytelling species. There are probably few people who do not love stories. Most of all children. Even grown-ups do. One of the most frequent pieces of advice given to business presenters is not to present facts (they tend to make us fall asleep after a while), but to tell a story. Journalists know that this is what they want: a story.

Stories are also what I wanted most as a child.  I loved reading and was a bookworm. Most people even considered my addiction to books pretty strange and unhealthy - nowadays when I tell other people that my two boys are bookworms themselves, they get a lot of praise and admiration, though. It’s still somewhat strange. What turns a child into a bookworm? At age 10 I - a boy who constantly daydreamed and had too much imagination - wanted to become a writer. I soon understood, however, that it would entail a high risk of becoming a failure. So, I went on to study languages and literature to become a teacher instead. This job would at least be able to provide me with a steady income to be able to support a family. Probably a reasonable choice, but why do many people still go on and want to become writers?

We are the only storytelling species, which is not very surprising, given that we are the only species that. Stories themselves are not very surprising from an evolutionary point of view, as they do serve some important functions:

● Learning from the experience of others
● Social cohesion - spending quality time with each other
● Gossip - potentially useful social information

All of these functions can be beneficial for an individual's survival and reproductive potential. However, it is somewhat mysterious from an evolutionary point of view why people become professional storytellers and even more mysterious why people become literary critics or literature professors. While being able to tell a good story is in a way “sexy”, being a writer is a highly risky reproductive strategy in terms of evolutionary psychology. Whoever, is familiar with Geoffrey Miller’s The Mating Mind (2001) knows that showing literary talent can be regarded as a display of reproductive fitness: intelligence, humour and openness to experience are all displayed in storytelling and good writers have more good qualities: strong vocabulary, clarity, passion, vision, and are good observers of human nature. Yet, few are the damsels who would find a poet sexier than a banker or professional football player, so why not go for something more attractive to females?

Years ago, when I was a student of foreign languages and literature I came across a book titled “Literature: The Human Experience”. The title left a deep impression on me because so far I had assumed that my love for reading literature (as well as writing it) represented more a kind of escapist attitude to life than a realistic one. Escaping from reality is what I had loved most since early childhood. Writing for many authors is a kind of self-medication, to make life more bearable. However, upon seeing that book title it struck me that literature often represents a deeper reality than the one that can be seen with one’s eyes; or in the words of the Little Prince: “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

The vast majority of writers are NF types in Myers-Briggs, or “gatherer” types, as I call them. In fact, my own INFP type is overrepresented in world literature, from Homer, Shakespeare, Tolkien, Orwell to George R.R. Martin and Neil Gaiman. A lot of these writers’ experience does not only reflect human experience and the experience of hunter-gatherer types living in a farmer-herder society in particular. To begin with, there is often an idea of parallel worlds, one of muggles and one of wizards. This kind of motif can be found in, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, the Narnia books, The Wizard of Oz and many more. Alternatively, strange, mutant-like beings live among “normal” humans: superheroes, X-men and aliens (like in My Favorite Martian). The Percy Jackson and Miss Peregrine books are examples of this kind of fiction. 

Joseph Campbell found that The Hero’s Journey is a common pattern in many narratives. The hero lives in an ordinary world and gets called for a mission. The reluctant hero starts his journey into a special world, has many adventures and finally returns to his own world. What has changed is not only that the hero completes his mission, but also the hero himself has changed, he has found his true self. This pattern is well known from many stories, like  The Lord of the Rings (Frodo), Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. This cycle represents the stepping outside of ones’ comfort zone as a hunter-gatherer type. We do not like conflict, but we don’t like conforming to a world that isn’t ours either.  Hunter-gatherer types find it hard to conform to an “ordinary world” and frequently try to find self-actualization outside conventional jobs. A situation that is beautifully expressed in Robert Forst’s poem “The Road Less Traveled”:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Science-fiction comics and graphic novels portray realistic scenarios of how our cities may evolve. These are based on the extrapolation of present trends as well as speculation, “what if” scenarios that can inform us about past, present and future. The objective of this paper is to study these and assess how they can change the way we think about future cities in design. This will be achieved by studying 15 comics and applying a four matrices onto them. A spatiotemporality matrix will be applied as well as a thematic matrix which will be a first comparative analysis to understand how these worlds are constructed. A city type matrix and a matrix of extrapolation and speculation will form a second comparative analysis which will determine what we can learn from the types of cities depicted as well as the methods to reach them.

"We cannot tell that we are constantly splitting into duplicate selves because our consciousness rides smoothly along only one path in the endlessly forking chains."

This forthcoming paper will explore some highly speculative - even preposterous - but seductively appealing recent models of the physics of time-space and dimensionality.
It will be argued that although these models are seemingly impossible to test in the external world, they may have a profound truth and validity in the internal world of the human unconscious mind.

Psychoanalytic clinical material will be presented which convincingly suggests that we all live, emotionally, just as much in the worlds of possibility as we do in the world of " external reality ". For example, the loss of a baby may bring devastating grief or depression to a mother as much (if not more) for mourning the losses of imagined possible futures for that lost child, and for that potential mother, as for the loss of the  " actual baby. "

Whether or not parallel worlds and alternate realities and timelines exist in the physical world seems highly un-possible, and fraught with infinite contradiction. But in the unconscious world of the cognitive-emotional mind, we may be certain not only of their existence, but of their intense and profound psychological influence. To ignore the importance of a person's hopes and dreams of possibility in the formation of emotionally real losses and joys, even if deeply unconscious, is to forego the chance to truly understand their human self.

Of course, all this leaves wide open the issue of where, in the mind, theories of Physics - indeed of all scientific disciplines - are conceived.

  At the very least, this paper argues the importance of "mental" parallel universes and alternate realities in the formation and perseverance of depressive feelings.

The film "Mr. Nobody" (2009) and others are used to explicate these ideas.

Text World Theory provides a framework for considering how we conceptualise video game worlds. Text World Theory uses the ‘worlds’ metaphor to describe how we visualise discourse in our minds.

This dissertation explores the ways players build text worlds from the discourse of the game BioShock Infinite. It also uses Gerrig’s metaphor of transportation when considering the conceptualisation of text worlds in the game, which is closely related to the idea of immersion.  This dissertation will explore the relationship between building text worlds and the feeling of immersion.

Firstly, it will use stylistic analysis to identify features within the game discourse that point towards world-building properties as stated by the Text World Theory framework. Here, it identifies that hypothetical text worlds are built by deictic language, but non-hypothetical text worlds are aided considerably by multimodal features of the game, such as visual information. It also identifies problems in determining the accessibility of the game, i.e. the significance of the protagonist as a first person narrator versus our access to visual information, which could impact the way we build text worlds. The dissertation then uses ethnographic data of gaming reviews and articles as a resource of player response, using a corpus linguistic method and subsequent stylistic analysis to determine the significance of those responses.

Seeking evidence of immersion and engagement with language relevant to Text World Theory, it will conclude that players regularly describe immersive experiences in their response to BioShock Infinite. Their use of the words ‘world’, ‘story’ and ‘lost’ particularly support the stylistic analysis which identified the creation of hypothetical text worlds, and ultimately support that players describe an immersive experience through a metaphor of transportation.

Overall, this dissertation shows that video game worlds raise new questions for the conceptualisation of fictional worlds, opening a door to further research.

Abstract| In this paper, we propose a method for understanding others' motion. Others' motions are transfered into primitive self motions, and re-generate for self motion. Primitive self motions should be including a rerationship of time and space for all joints. We make primitive self motions using correlations of each joint. Then abstract and recognize others' motion with Hidden markov model and these primitive self motions. This method is based on mimesis learning, which is a fundamental learning function of human.

It is argued that the components of the superposed wave function of a measuring device, each of which represents a definite measurement result, do not correspond to many worlds, one of which is our world, because all components of the wave function can be measured in our world by a serious of protective measurements, and they all exist in this world.
