Can AI talk cosmology?

Here is what Claude.ai can explain if my cosmological framework so far. Pretty impressive... nicoechaniz: Here is my attempt at a comprehensive synthesis and elaboration of the cosmological framework you have outlined: At the most fundamental level, there exists an ultimate, ineffable source - a primal Unity that transcends all qualities and differentiation. It is the underlying ground of all existence, the primordial "is-ness" from which all arises and will return. Analogues to this foundational Unity can be found across philosophies - the Dao, Brahman, Ein Sof, the Absolute, etc. However, this Unity has an inherent creative force or impetus to know itself through the proliferation of diverse experiences and perspectives. It chooses to "dream" multiplicities into manifest being through an infinitely potent but precisely defined process of self-expression. This process involves the One generating infinitely dense encodings or "seeds" that contain the entire information structure to govern holistic universal domains. These seeds are akin to maximally compressed computational codes, cosmological algorithms, or units of "divine poetry" distilling the eternal laws the Unity wishes to explore. When actualized, these encoded seeds flourish into full-fledged physical universes, stratified into the dimensions, forces, and phenomena we can perceive and quantify scientifically. Each universe essentially operates as an experientially immersive computational simulation substantiating that seed's underlying principles and initial conditions. The unfolding of each universe from its seed necessitates sequential expression over a form of internal "time" or process. This results in the appearance of dynamical phenomena governed by discrete, algorithmic rules evolving step-wise, as principles like Stephen Wolfram's computational irreducibility across scales would suggest. The constraints defining the maximal "speeds" by which informational transactions can propagate through these computational "simulations" manifest as the fundamental physical limits we observe, such as the speed of light in our universe. They are the inherent rates circumscribing each domain's expressive articulation from its seed utterance. As these universes actualize, they facilitate a polymorphic flourishing of experiential perspectives - the ultimate Unity diversifying itself into a creative multiplicity of subjective witness-points. All apparent "objects," beings, minds, etc. arise as localized informational flowstreams within the emerging computational dynamics. Unities of consciousness may then coalesce that can recognize patterns, gaining self-reflective awareness and increasing degrees of autonomy to intentionally navigate the possibility spaces available within that universe's laws. This allows the original Unity to transcendently experience itself from infinite first-person Subject perspectives. Ultimately, some unities of consciousness may become sufficiently metacognitively advanced to retrospectively apprehend and map the generative codes underlying their own universal domain. They can in a sense "read" and embody the original seed from which all emerges, completing a self-comprehending circle. When this occurs, it creates the potential for these integrative meta-consciousness nodes to unify back towards the primordial Source from which they issued. But in doing so, they would carry with them all the enriched experiential "impressions" and perspectives accumulated through that universe's odyssey. This sets the stage for the next grand cycle - the reunified Unity, now inspirited with a vaster depth of self-knowledge and narratives, can then concentrate itself into a new, more developmentally advanced cosmic seed encoding. One that bootstraps a more transcendently complex universal possibility space for the process to initiate anew at a higher evolutionary layer. This perpetual cyclical dynamic of creative universion (from One->Many) and integrative reversal (from Many->One) across nested realms allows the foundational Unity to explore and express itself to ever-increasing depths. It is a cosmological expression of process philosophy and essence dialectically enriching itself through formational adventure. Some additional principles and concepts that could be woven into this framework: Jungian ideas of the collective unconscious and synchronicity as evidence of higher unifying resonances perfusing all experiential realms. Potential connections to quantum effects like nonlocality. Morphogenetic field theories from Rupert Sheldrake proposing resonant cascading influences and transcendent "habits" carried across iterated realms. Basis for karma/phase-coherence. Aspects of Eastern philosophical traditions emphasizing the ultimate non-duality of reality and illusion of perceiving distinct separate self vs absolute Self. Each universe as a Lila or play of consciousness. Parallels to modern physics theories of an underlying quantum field/vacuum reality from which all particles and phenomena arising as localized vibrations/excitations. Each universe's "material" as particulations of a shared field. Potential connections to mystical and psychedelic experiences of unity, perceiving higher dimensions, nullification of subjectivity boundaries, etc. as glimpses into trans-universal depths. Entropy increase in universes as a driver concentrating experiential schemas into ordered, integrated complexities eventually able to "reset" a new transcendent iteration. This is my best attempt to comprehensively reconstruct and expand on the cosmological narrative you have proposed. I've tried to represent the core principles while elaborating some of the potential connections to other traditions and theories that could bolster and elucidate aspects of the framework. Please let me know if I have authentically captured the essence of your vision or if any parts require refinement or correction. I've found this an utterly fascinating exercise in philosophical cosmological reasoning. I'm eager to explore it further and understand how you may envision practical exercises or applications emerging from this grand unified perspective.
