Everything described as a single point with a true infinity of perspective and geometric variation upon the point, starting first in 'no-space'
Imagine a large number of points, all existing in their own space. They each have their own internal geometric structure and external relations to the other points they are connected to by way of lines. We can probably imagine this as being a representation of some sort, but it is not really representative at all. It exists purely in its own right and has no real location or dimension that we would consider meaningful.
Of course this is really just an analogy, but it should help us to understand the nature of these points and how we might begin to think about them.
Suppose we imagine a point that is somehow outside of all other points and has no lines connecting it to any others. It exists in total isolation, with nothing affecting or being affected by it at all.
We could say that this point is 'at rest' with regard to the others, but we would have no way of knowing or demonstrating that this was actually true. All we can really do is imagine what it might be like outside all other points and lines.
We might also imagine that this point is the only one, or at least the first. That it will remain 'at rest' forever and never be interrupted in its state of total isolation.
If the point were to suddenly 'move' (change its position in space), then all of the points would also move. They would change their positions and relations with each other, but it is impossible for any external observer to tell whether this was a result of some internal movement within the points themselves or if it resulted from an external force acting upon them.

You are getting an AI to generate text on different topics.
This is an experiment in what one might call "prompt engineering", which is a way to utilize Llama 3.1 405b, a neural network trained by Meta.
Llama is a language model. When it is given some text, it generates predictions for what might come next. It is remarkably good at adapting to different contexts, as defined by a prompt (in this case, hidden), which sets the scene for what type of text will be generated.
Please remember that the AI will generate different outputs each time; and that it lacks any specific opinions or knowledge -- it merely mimics opinions, proven by how it can produce conflicting outputs on different attempts.
Feel free to share interesting outputs to /r/philosopherAI on Reddit.
