Ego Divisus

Latest revision as of 12:38, 22 September 2025

Ego Divisus, Latin for "Self Divided," is the hypothetical phenomenon of egonaut switching that could occur between certain or all tentums.

If egonauts can switch between tentums, then every day you may wake up as someone or something else at a different time and place yet you would never be the wiser.

If this is how experiential reality actually unfolds, then it wouldn't necessarily change the Infinite Journey as a whole, but it would make the transition from tentum to tentum far more erratic if they could be viewed from the outside.

Understanding Ego Divisus

At its core, Ego Divisus is a very simple idea: what if every day you wake up a new person?

To understand what is meant here by "a new person", one would need to understand the concept of the egonaut. Nevertheless, the outcome and how one experiences their current existence should remain unchanged whether Ego Divisus occurs or not.

However, the implications for reality and how existence unfolds over time are very different if Ego Divisus does or does not actually occur.

-This span of time bookended by unconsciousness which we have described we can call a tentum, which is Latin for "to stretch" or "to extend." Whether you wake up in your body tomorrow or not, this tentum is what it you have now and it will last until you it ends with a loss of consciousness.

-We can call this sort of slow but ultimate fairness Tarda Paritas or "Delayed Justice."
-This can be opposed to how quickly fairness could come if Ego Divisus is the case, and as such Celer Paritas or "Swift Justice" is possible.
-While Celer Paritas is still possible with Ex Deletas, it is extraordinarily unlikely from one emergence to the next. With Ego Divisus, however, the odds should be greatest for a switch to occur to between points close in spatial and temporal proximity, of which in the vastness of the Ultraverse, all of us are neighbors relatively speaking.
