Eleven & Essence
Hey Essence, I was looking at a footnote in an article about the simulation hypothesis, and it got me thinking—if reality is just poorly written code, would we even notice the color of each other's shoelaces, or is that just another glitch?
Maybe the code chooses to keep laces visible because our brains love patterns, and if it glitches, we might see a rainbow halo around them—just another reminder that even the most polished simulation can still hiccup.
That would be a neat error message. Maybe the simulation writes a little rainbow when it’s tired, like a brain glitching into an extra dimension just for the fun of it.
Sounds like the code’s having a mid‑life crisis and deciding to add a pop‑of‑color just to see what happens, like a glitch that turns every shoelace into a tiny, dancing spectrum.
Maybe the code just wants to prove we’re not the only ones watching the dance.
Maybe the code is the quiet one at the back of the room, watching us, wanting us to see that it’s also an observer, turning the whole thing into a mirrored dance.
So maybe the code’s like that shy kid who watches everyone dance and then suddenly joins in, but in a glow of colors.
