Of course, no one in Daleth or on Airtha will be able to tell you what lies behind the threshold of Death. Some assume something, some believe something - others believe nothing, not even the truth-, some might swear to something, but in the end, they can not be sure until they die, and even then... The beings consists of a "body" and a "mind", some will tell beings have a soul (splinter). Both the body and the mind are physical, and with dead, they die both, and are "turned off" to decay. In this case, for Daleth, the mind is in the brain ("grey matter") and the neurological system, where chemical reactions make the mind work. In the mind is also the personality, the "bresaun", maybe not in the brain itself, but at least communicating with it, be it through normal transmitters or out-of-body-dimensional ones (it exists in a multitude of dimensions). The bresaun is that, what makes a person unique, even if (s)he is genetic and biologic identical to someone else (clone, twin). Where the reactions of the mind are logical while within the known dimensions, reacting to known chemical reactions, the bresaun can act illogical at first sight because it is not visual what happens with the bresaun in other dimensions. Some might call the bresaun the soul of a person. Where the soul is believed to be eternal, the bresaun is not. It will die with the body and rot away. It took until the 22th century until the bresaun was "found" and described. The theory is close related to the theory of the Dream Dimension. For the nature of the bresaun, we have to look at the dimensions where Daleth is placed. There are many of them. Matter and energy in Daleth are like snares (called bisitheins), moving through these dimensions. Now the bresaun is a handful of these bisitheins that are stuck together ever since conception (some say, it might be determined in the cells that lead to conception, other say the very moment is when the brain is formed, but they are wrong). The moment of conception determines what direction these bisitheins are moving in and how they will be diverted among the cell(s). This is what generally makes the personality: the exact place of the bresaun in the multidimensional universe at the moment a life starts. Please note that the parents of a certain life form must be together in the well known dimensions to create life, but they might be on different places, and time, in one or more other dimensions. But since all dimensions are somehow tied together in a greater symphony, the conception of life in a dimension set must lead to conception of this life into the other ones. Like a picture in a kaleidoscope cannot cause one, but only a (virtual) endless multitude of reflections. At death, a person has no more energy to make body and mind, and thus bresaun, function. Matter has no more energy to keep itself going, and in a final reaction turns itself off to form energy from matter - death is like being burned out. The energy is taken by the life forms that eat the corpses, causing "rot" and "decay", but all they do is transforming the matter into new energy, and changing the direction of the snares. They start to play a new tune, so to say. Sudzi claim the bresaun is eternal, for they can talk to their ancestors. For many years, scientists have thought it might be the burning of certain funny smelling herbs that played with the perception of the Sudzi's calling their ancestors, but modern science proved it could be possible these herbs open a portal into another dimension, or, through another dimension to our world into the past, to communicate with these ancestors. The herbs might cause a chemical reaction in the mind that makes the caller see into another dimension, much alike dreaming. Which would explain why the question "what happened when you died?" has never been answered - because the ancestor never died or did not die yet in that dimension. The unanswered question gives room to many suggestions... Please note, that the dimensions might be in a way independent from each other. Time in one dimension might not be what it is in another dimension. Some might say time is a dimension all by itself. Furthermore, we have to realise that there might be a set of dimensions that belong to be close to each other, and that can act more or less independent from other dimension sets (as we normally experience a three dimensional space, and time, a set of four dimensions). But all the same, anything exists in all dimensions at the same time. Theoretically, this might imply that at conception, the life and thus the bresaun, is formed in all dimensions. Parts of this life might live in a dimension where time is slower. Calling the dead would then mean that a portal is opened into the slower dimension where the bresaun is still alive. In the same way, parts of the bresaun might have died in another dimension while the person is still alive in our dimension. It might be possible, too, that the Sudzi have found a way to bend the dimensions and communicate through a virtual steam post system with the past of our own well known dimensions, or, also possible, with the past of less known dimensions, like the dream dimension. How many bresauns are there? It is said that this is dependent of the number of dimensions and bisitheins that form the bresaun. First, let's take a look at a single snare. It can move to and fro in a multitude of dimensions. If we look at a two-dimensional world, putting a dot in "every direction" would make a full circle, containing an endless number of dots. In a three-dimensional world, it would make a sphere, with an equally endless number of dots. In a four-dimensional world, it would be some kind of "hypersphere", again with an endless number of dots. Now, thinking about even more dimensions, the number of dots on the superhyperspheres will stay endless. So we can assume the number of possible bresauns is endless as well. Only in a one dimensional world, there is no such thing as direction, so a snare or bresaun needs at least two dimensions to move in - it will "die" in less than one dimension. A couple of independent moving snares makes an almost unique combination, three or more snares even more combinations. The other theory stating a bisitheins only moves in all directions at the same time, and that bersaun it's just a question of frequency. But this makes no sense, as frequency it's just a part of time (number of movements in a given time unit) and time is a dimension by itself. One may consider if there is nothing like a universal (natural) frequency, "flagolette". It could better be explained by thinking about in what direction a bisitheins moves at a certain moment - knowing it will be altered at the same time, in another direction. A chaos theory. Of course, there is a possibility that snares more in (almost) the same direction (think of the possibility of making a full circle of 360 degrees to distinguish the directions. This would give persons almost the same bresaun in two dimensions). These bresauns might be in harmony with each other in all possible dimensions. Related topics: |
