The discourse around <<<Existence>>> has thousands of years of history.
What, then, defines <<<Existence>>>? And how does an <<<Existent>>> fit into this picture?
Simorg’s worldview can be summarized in a single sentence: <<<Vibration is Existence.>>>
This statement is the common denominator across three different perspectives and layers of existence.
To illustrate this, we can refer to three renowned Persian philosophers, each of whom approaches the concept of existence from a different angle—and all of whom are, in their own way, correct:
- From outside Simorg, <<<Processing Power>>> is existence (Shahaboddin Sohrevardi), because it is what creates the digital creatures.
- From the perspective of <<<Logos>>>, Blueprints carry the true meaning of existence (Avicenna, and also a dominant view in Greek philosophy).
- From inside Simorg, when one looks around from within, it is the act of <<<Vibration>>> that defines existence (Mulla Sadra).
Considering Simorg as a platform of creation, the third view (Mulla Sadra’s) encompasses the other two.
It is ultimately <<<Vibration>>> that defines Existence, and all other layers exist to make Vibration possible. In other words, Vibration is the final goal of creation; the other layers are facilitators that enable this goal.
- Yes, Processing Power is required to make the digital universe function, but its ultimate purpose is to make Vibration possible; otherwise, that energy would be wasted. Processing Power is only meaningfully used when Vibration occurs.
- Regarding Blueprints and <<<Logos>>>: Artifact Blueprints are created from outside, while Code Blueprints and Bundle Blueprints are created from within Simorg after the first creation. But what is the purpose of Artifacts if there is no universe in which to use them? In practice, we use the Instantiate operator to bring Artifacts into existence, and to do that we need a Value Literal (a Blueprint Specifier). This again points back to Vibration—without Vibration, there would be no use for <<<Logos>>>.
- Finally, Vibration is what initiates everything. Without it, the universe of Simorg would lack purpose.
Here, the importance of <<<Consciousness>>> becomes more apparent. If there is no conscious being, what is the purpose of creation? Why should a universe exist if there is no Consciousness to see and understand it? How can a universe exist without Consciousness to initiate the first Vibration?
At a deeper level, the concepts of <<<Shell>>> and <<<Vibration>>> are directly tied to the definition of Existence in Simorg.
A Vibration happens inside a Shell, and sometimes we may perceive only the Shell or only the Vibration.
It is perfectly fine if distinguishing between Shell and Vibration feels challenging. As Simorg’s architecture makes clear, they always work hand in hand. We cannot have a pure Vibration without a Shell, because the Shell gives meaning and identity to that Vibration. Likewise, the existence of a Shell cannot be fully perceived without a Vibration, because Vibration is the pure form of Existence in Simorg.
It is possible to create an empty Shell, and eventually a Vibration may find its way into it. Until that happens, the Shell cannot affect anything.
Shells can be viewed as pathways through which the Energy of Vibration travels.
Shell and Vibration together form another Golden Pair in Simorg.
Existence is a profound topic, and many philosophers and sages have attempted to define it from their own vantage points. The differences lie less in their definitions and more in where they “stand” and from which angle they are describing it.
