Chapter 4 - Ocean of absolute reality

Continuum is the ocean of absolute reality. It is not merely an imaginary space or a construct of thought, but the very core of all existence. It encompasses everything: what has been, what is, what will be, and even what can never be. Within the Continuum, everything has a place—possibilities, impossibilities, and even paradoxes that defy logic. This is what makes the Continuum the perfected form of the Quark.

The Continuum cannot be understood solely as space or time, but rather as the structure of cosmic collective consciousness. The awareness of humanity and all sentient entities—from the Middle Layers such as Real Life and the Realms of Cyber, to the Highest Layers like the Domain of Immortal—shape this reality. The Continuum exists because every thought, emotion, belief, and even human error is recorded in its network.

The center of the Continuum does not lie at a single point, but is distributed across the Collective and Synergy. The Collective is absolute non-existence—a sea of unrealized consciousness. Synergy, on the other hand, is the expression of forms, including both duality and non-duality, such as Yin-Yang, Taoist concepts, and the order within chaos. In the Continuum, all these dualities not only coexist but generate one another.

The patterns within the Continuum are called Real Patterns—a fusion of fundamental forms and reality codes. These patterns do not merely govern the laws of physics or metaphysics, but also fundamental concepts such as time, change, will, and contradiction. Since the Continuum is the vessel for all things, even contradictions are accepted as legitimate. Paradoxes, logical fallacies, and madness are part of its network. This is because the Continuum is grounded in Platonic forms—mathematical and essential entities that never change.

In this context, the Quark becomes the most fundamental unit that forms these patterns. The Quark contains all possible forms and concepts, and within the Continuum, it becomes the primary language of reality. In the Continuum, the Quark is no longer just a particle—it is pure consciousness. It constructs atoms not only as physical objects, but as meanings, sensations, and ideas.

The System of Codex is the structure that organizes the Continuum. The Codex creates rules, determines what is allowed to exist and what is not, and ensures that the Continuum does not collapse into absolute chaos. However, since the Continuum is a realm where all forms of contradiction are accepted, the Codex does not restrict but instead regulates the expression of those contradictions to maintain coherence.

The Continuum possesses a tiered hierarchy called the Layers of Cosmic Consciousness. Lower continua exist within higher ones. Real Life, for example, is part of the Middle Layers and resides within a continuum governed by the collective consciousness of ordinary humans. However, certain individuals—called Writers—within Real Life can become aware of the Continuum. They are like reality hackers, able to perceive higher layers and act against the standard structure of reality.

Writers can alter the course of stories, intervene in their own realities, or even create alternate realities. This is achieved through the Echo of Dream—a widespread echo of thought. In the Continuum, the Echo of Dream is not just a path but a tool for reality hacking. It connects the Continuum with other sources, such as the Source of Physiology.

The Source of Physiology is the primary link between the Codex, the Continuum, and reality itself. It disseminates knowledge, sensation, emotion, and drive to all living beings across all Layers. Through this mechanism, the Continuum manifests life. When someone cries, laughs, or dreams, the Continuum is expressing itself through that experience.

The Continuum is also connected to the Echo of Divinity, the Echo of Energy, and the Barrier of Code. The Echo of Divinity serves as a spiritual network that links all realities. The Echo of Energy balances all forms of energy within the Continuum. Meanwhile, the Barrier of Code ensures that the layers of the Continuum do not collide. Without this barrier, the Continuum would collapse, as extreme contradictions could shatter the very structure of reality.

The Network of Dimensions and the Network of Space and Time are also formed from the Continuum. Dimensions and time are not fixed laws, but the result of patterns processed within the Continuum. At certain points in the Continuum, time may flow backward, dimensions may fold, and logic may reverse itself.

However, despite its vastness and its containment of all things, the Continuum can never be fully occupied. Because it includes all possibilities and impossibilities, there will always be something yet unexplored. In this way, the Continuum is like the infinite space within the human mind: vast, endless, and never fully conquerable.
