Metaphysics: A Master Map of Reality

In my non-fiction work, specifically Sacred Geometry: Philosophy & Worldview, we move beyond the "standard worldview" that sees physical constants as random accidents. Instead, we look at the 32 Degrees of Freedom—the fundamental parameters identified by physicists like Max Tegmark¹ that define our specific universe. He wrote, "Every fundamental property of nature ever measured can be computed from the 32 numbers."

These are the "32 edges" of the Tesseract: 

• The 12 Building Blocks: The fundamental fermions (quarks and leptons) that provide the "mass" of our reality.
• The 8 Mixing Angles: The precise geometric "tilts" (CKM and MNS matrices) that allow particles to interact and change.
• The 12 Physical Constants: The "fine-tuning" knobs of the cosmos, including the Fine Structure Constant, the Strong Coupling Constant, and the Dark Energy Density.

If any one of these finely-tuned 32 edges (or Tegmark numbers) were disconnected, the Tesseract would instantly collapse, and the "Null State" would result, a universe that cannot support life as we know it. Our existence in the visible world maps to this continuous, 32-strut geometric container.

The statistical likelihood that all 32 of these parameters would be perfectly "finely-tuned" to support life is effectively zero, far less than one atom's chance compared to all the matter in the universe, speaking in terms of probability. We are standing on a mathematical knife-edge so sharp it seems impossible. To explain away this miracle, many modern physicists invoke the "Many Worlds" hypothesis—violating Occam’s Razor in the most extreme way possible by inventing an infinite number of unobservable, unfalsifiable (not-science) universes just to avoid the obvious.

The solution staring us in the face is far simpler: Consciousness. By its very nature, consciousness finely tunes "reality"—its own simulation—for novelty, for complexity, and for the most interesting possible outcomes. The Tesseract isn't a random accident; it is a curated environment designed by and for the observer at the center, you. Not solipsism, but you as a fractal dissociation of universal mind.

This 32-fold symmetry isn't just a rule for the vacuum of space; it is the blueprint for the very atoms that make up your body, a deep underappreciated structure of matter itself. The Periodic Table of Elements is governed by this pattern. The "Long Form" of the Periodic Table (usually broken out to save space on the page) is built upon the completion of electron shells that follow a specific numeric progression, culminating in the 32-element wide rows (the 6th and 7th periods, including the Lanthanides and Actinides). In the language of Simulacra : BRANCH, this is the 'Chassis of Matter'—the physical manifestation of the Tesseract's 32 edges.

I explore how this 32-fold symmetry is the "Master Key" that unlocks the transition from the quantitative (counting atomic affinities) to the qualitative (understanding the essence of the pattern).

There are dozens of more examples of this 32+1 pattern throughout my work from up and down the developmental spiral, from Jesus living to age 33 to the United Nations flag having 32+1 sectors, to going from a nice orbit at Mach 32 to only reaching escape velocity at Mach 33, and beyond.

If the 32 edges are the "Machine," what is the "+1"? In both the Simulacra trilogy and my philosophical research, the 33rd point is the center. In a 4D Tesseract, this point is equidistant from all 32 edges, the point of origin. It represents the unmoving seat of Awareness. That is where your "free will" enters the mathematical construct, through the quantum aperture aka the uncertainty principle. The 32 edges are the 'What.' The 33rd point is the 'Who.' You are the point of origin—the seat of the unmoving mover—that turns a mathematical simulation into a lived reality. Ready Player One. 

The "Sacred Anachronism" I advocate for is the realization that the universe is not just a 32-part cage of matter; it is a 33-part system where you—the observer—are your own center. You are the "Ghost in the Machine" that sits at the 33rd degree of freedom, the being who all the geometry is by and for, your experiencing. Without the observer at the center, all the geometry of the world is just dead mathematical abstraction. With the observer, they become a Temple for the one pulling back the curtain and seeing the universal mind's inner workings, the real Truman Show. If the 32 edges are the set of the Truman Show, the 33rd degree is the moment you look at the camera and realize you are free to go wherever you want.

The Tesseract is one important map, among many such maps I've drawn. My books are maps for your slow-and-deep perusal. Are you ready to integrate your metaphysical reality into your worldview?
