Ithaca, NY - Local man, Paul Munn, told reporters that reducing the world to a dynamic system of interactions between competing views of reality was really the only way he managed to stay sane. “I know it’s a huge oversimplification, but extrapolating effects on a macroscopic scale from a multi-dimensional hierarchy of intersecting hyper-planes is sometimes the only way I can get through the day.”
Expert sources on the convoluted nature of the space-time continuum we affectionately call our universe agreed that to truly come to terms with how what we perceive as a single, unified thing is actually comprised of many disparate things required one to build a mental picture of a simplified mathematical model capable of simulating abstruse physical laws. “How else would anyone be able to connect one event to the next, or have any hope of making predictions for the immediate future?” they said. “I mean, you wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed, let alone drive a car.”
At press time Munn stood frozen in place, attempting to update his internal predictive model as a baseball rapidly converged on his forehead.
