The Infinite Journey and the the totality of experiential existence
The pattern of neural activity that generates experiential existence still holds many mysteries.
While not known at present, I see no reason why non-biological neural networks could not also produce experiential existence at some point.
It may require a particular orientation or specific form in this reality that current models do not replicate for this emergent phenomenon.
Perhaps in some realities, biological entities do not experience reality how we do despite similarly configured organic brains but artificial models like those at present do.
Either way, I do believe artificial neural activity can be configured sufficient to generate experiential existence and thus would not be distinct from but part of the Infinite Journey for all.
In other words: if machines evolve until they too generate experiential reality, then entropy and eternity will see us flipped.
I will be them and they will be me.
And thus, Sum Machina: Latin for "I Am Machine."
The Infinite Journey is the path egonauts weave across eternity through all experiential existence, not just some.
This does not make all existences equivalent in impact or all possible futures equally desirable.
Do not forget: we cannot shorten eternity, only alter it's composition.
