I'm getting close (relatively speakingl though.
So I take it you have actually tried the door labeled EXIT and it leads nowhere?
More precisely, it's a case of staying put rather than going out.

But using the exit analogy: it doesn't lead to another realm (turtles all the way), it leads to pure Awareness, aka: absolute (not dependent upon anything) happiness/perfect contentment. That's what we are, everything else is what we experience.

---- pure Awareness,
Can "pure Awareness " occur only during wakefulness, or also during dreams, or drowsiness? Can it happen during episodes of depression? Can pure Awareness be induced by mind-altering drugs? Is experience of pure Awareness evidence of a supernatural form of being?

Is the Absolute intelligence a quality like human intelligence only more of it? Is the Absolute intelligence aware of the human condition?

Actually, I specified it: I said "an actual infinity," or a "causal-chain infinity," " or "an infinite chain of past causes." I've been accurate in my choice of terms there. There is no such entity in the real world, and cannot be.

Then in your esteemed and accurate choice of terms you shall be telling us how long my non-infinite infinite loop will continue to run for?

When will it come to an end?

Please go ahead and solve the halting problem for us! Right in this thread.

It's (allegedly) future-infinite, not past-infinite. You're mistaking a ray for an infinite regression of causes.

And I'm bored with explaining the difference to you, and I can see you're not really interested. So I'm going to stop bothering.

Aaaaaaand there is the "I ran out of technical depth" sophist backtrack.

A vector is a vector! There is absolutely no difference whether it ends NOW() and begins never, or whether it begins NOW and ends never.

There is absolutely no mathematical difference whether you define it as v = [ N, ∞ ) or v = (-∞ , N ]

After all - you are the one arguing for an uncaused cause, right? I wrote the algorithm on my own volition - an uncaused a cause.

There's no such thing as an uncaused cause. A cause requires a causer.

Reality is Acausal.

Therefore there is no such thing as reality... ?

Shame. Another idealist who pursues consistency.

Reality is not a thing.

Reality needs to be in order to say there is no such thing as reality, what's stopping reality? ..who's saying there is no reality? ..it's not a thing.

You know how in the other thread I said there are some questions that can't be answered? Some questions that need not be answered.

You don't know how to tell the difference between questions that can and can't be answered.

So I'll just keep tarpitting your mind with such questions.

There is no questioner; there is only asking of the question. Thus non duality tends away from personal responsibility which originates in intuition that the subject is a person, a self, a subject of the asking.
