is transmi ed to the brain as electrical signals. These are decoded by

the brain to construct our sense of reality – an illusory ‘physical’

world that only exists in the brain or the mind. Virtual reality games

mimic this process using the same sensory decoding system.

Information is fed to the senses to decode a virtual reality that can

appear so real, but isn’t (Figs 18 and 19). Some scientists believe –

and I agree with them – that what we perceive as ‘physical’ reality

only exists when we are looking or observing. The act of perception

or focus triggers the decoding systems which turn waveform

information into holographic reality. When we are not observing

something our reality reverts from a holographic state to a waveform

state. This relates to the same principle as a falling tree not making a

noise unless someone is there to hear it or decode it. The concept

makes sense from the simulation perspective. A computer is not

decoding all the information in a Wi-Fi field all the time and only

decodes or brings into reality on the screen that part of Wi-Fi that it’s

decoding – focusing upon – at that moment.

Figure 19: The result can be experienced as very ‘real’.
