Continuums
Multifazcontinuum
The most general continuum in the theory. A multi-phase, multi-continuum structure that holds all possible conscious lives together. The mathematical setting in which superimmortality is most naturally stated.
The multifazcontinuum is the most general continuum in the theory - it holds all possible conscious lives together in a single structure. Where other continuums restrict attention to specific body types or ixperiencitness (the quality that makes your conscious experience yours) categories, the multifazcontinuum encompasses everything: every possible path through physical state-space that any conscious body could take.
It is the broadest possible framework for thinking about consciousness as a whole. Your life, your replicas' lives, and the lives of every other conscious being are all paths within this one structure.
What this means
The multifazcontinuum is the complete map of all possible conscious lives - yours is one path among an enormous number that the universe can produce.
From the awaretheory.com wiki (advanced reference)
When a continuum concept is applied to a single fazconcept you get a fazcontinuum. When a continuum concept is applied to a fazcontinuum you get a multifazcontinuum. for example when you apply an externacontinuum to a physapath you get a physacontinuum. when you apply an externacontinuum to an internacontinuum you get a multifazcontinuum
Multifazcontinuum is a grouping name for:
Multiphysicontinuum is one type of physicontinuum applied to another type of physicontinuum. For instance, an externacontinuum applied to a internaphysacontinuum.
Multiphysacontinuum is one type of physacontinuum applied to another type of physacontinuum. For instance, an externacontinuum applied to a internaphysacontinuum.
Multiawarecontinuum is all the resultant consciousnesses of one type of physacontinuum being applied to another type of physacontinuum. For instance, an externacontinuum applied to a internaphysacontinuum.
Multimentacontinuum,
Multixpecontinuum is the ixperiencitness result of one type of physacontinuum applied to another type of physacontinuum. For instance, an externacontinuum applied to a internaphysacontinuum.
Multiepicontinuum is the complete knowledge about one type of fazcontinuum applied to another type of fazcontinuum. For instance, the complete knowledge about an externacontinuum applied to a internaphysacontinuum. Or more simply stated the complete knowledge about a multifazcontinuum.
