>>12923087Yes, how would a prisoner escape something that they cannot become aware of the prison they are in. The rest of my original post (I am OP) was me putting some structure and framework into how such a prison might exist because the situation could only ever be validated or observed by an external entity given that the core criteria is a prisoner being unaware of some recursive expenditure of energy vs. effort that always leads them back to an earlier state or point.
The geometrical aspect was purely to aid in the construction and possibility of its existence for other minds to get a functioning idea.
A lot of my own mental processes focus on when does an isolated entity or individual ever actually develop a 'new' self without requiring external differences to compare self against and whether or not such thoughts are simply mental training or something that requires active focus and effort because it may yield a potential solution set with wide-ranging applications. Not that I have any insight into either outcomes, or if any is possible, so I tend to default to mental training until objective or empirical evidence paints such potential.
