Sensory Limitation

The subjective world we perceive is a function of our senses. These senses each represent a sampling of the analog world we live in. For example, human hearing extends from about 20 Hz to 20kHz, vision is limited to a frequency range of 400–790 THz and 30 “frames” per second, and likewise touch, smell, and taste are all a function of the number of sense receptors in the body. These limits mean that the human experience only covers a very small portion of the reality in which we participate. In addition, this is only looking at the senses which are widely recognized; humans are capable of perceiving information in many forms other than those experienced during normal waking consciousness. In order for a perspective to exist, it must have a way to observe the world, most commonly through our senses. These senses however, are inherently limited in resolution, which automatically means that any perspective without full “experiential resolution” has an incomplete set of “data” about the universe in which they exist. In order for an individual, with an independent perspective, to even exist in the world, requires that some degree of information is withheld from them. Any two perspectives with identical knowledge of the world would ultimately be the same perspective; essentially being the same person. Likewise, any perspective with absolute knowledge of the world, would be synonymous with what many conceive of as “God”. In this sense, God is simply the most complete paradigm through which to observe existence. However, if the only perspective in existence was the “ultimate” perspective, there would be no existence to observe. Hence, the removal of information from the system, allows a single perspective, God, to create the multitude of perspectives which inhabit and manifest existence itself.
