![]() We click icons because this is quicker and less prone to error than editing megabytes of software or toggling voltages in circuits. For the point of an interface, such as the windows interface on a computer, is simplification and ease of use. Indeed the usefulness of an interface requires, in general, that they do not. It is unlikely that the contents of our interface in any way resemble that realm. The world of our daily experience-the world of tables, chairs, stars and people, with their attendant shapes, smells, feels and sounds-is a species-specific user interface to a realm far more complex, a realm whose essential character is conscious. Spacetime, matter and fields never were the fundamental denizens of the universe but have always been, from their beginning, among the humbler contents of consciousness, dependent on it for their very being. I believe that consciousness and its contents are all that exists. ![]()
