This is a very interesting reply. You seem to resonate with the ideas of Plato and Stuart Hameroff, both of which suggest the same thing. That there are shadows of things, i.e. Plato's Theory of Forms, and that certain constructs are perhaps inherent to spacetime, suggesting idealism. You will be pleased to know that an intriguing surprisingly mainstream recently developed theory of consciousness argues for essentially exactly what you are saying: consciousness can be explained as an entropic force that somehow separated from universal consciousness, meaning that we are all multiple personalities of a universal host. A very interesting idea, no doubt:https://www.outerplaces.com/science/item/18618-theory-multiple-personality-disorder
Yes, I know. It mentions Bernardo Kastrup, whose philosophy is a form of Idealism. His website is here. There are lots of links there to various of his papers in Scientific American and elsewhere, as well as to his books. You'll also find many of his videos on YouTube. I've been following his ideas for years, as many long-time members here will already know. He's also been interviewed on Skeptiko more than once, most recently here.
