We are accustomed to describing our universe as composed of “things, ” and the laws of the universe as tools that explain how these things affect each other. However, if things affect each other, they are in constant change. So, how can we call a “thing” a “thing”? Isn’t the naming of things just a decision we make in our minds to freeze time and intentionally ignore everything beyond our senses, thus also ignoring the true nature of reality? And what is an interaction if not the effect of one ‘thing’ on another? But if there are no things—what is the nature of this interaction?
This book proposes “Attention” as the cornerstone of the entire framework of reality. Unlike the term “focus, ” the type of attention we’re talking about here is not a voluntary or self-aware action and is not exclusive to conscious beings. It is an action of data processing—turning abstract data into concrete information, and it occurs even in the smallest particles, in the laws of the universe themselves, and as a result—in the entire universe.
