It's mentally disturbing when a seemingly absurd theory provides the most sensible explanation for "reality". I've been scouting this rabbit hole for years and it makes my existence more tolerable than when I believed everything was "real".

Well, of course, because the subject of simulacrum seemed so complicated,I went straight to “Analogies “ on the explanation of simulacra (plural of simulacrum, I assume.) It discussed maps. So does Q. So, in this theory, a map precedes reality. Is that what you’re connecting ? Then, even though they’re probably not a good metaphor, my mind went straight to the famous ancient Piri Ries map of Antartica. That map was drawn 300 years before Antartica was discovered . And then I thought of Plato’s visual map of Atlantis. All of which, may not have anything to do with anything...And yet...

I think Matrix is a better descriptor.

Matrix comes from Matter / Mother / Womb

If its BIBLICAL then Matrix makes more sense. We are just seeds in a womb of 3D matter.

And the 'woman' is set to 'give birth' (expel certain people) and is going through 'Birth pangs/contractions' right now.

Contractions are exponential.

Like the Fibonacci sequence.

Once it reached the 12th step, the 144 will/was reached.

Read Q 14, 144, 1044, 1404, 1440.

Read about the 144,000 in the Bible, Egyptian, Mayan, Aztec legends. In all this seems to be something related to TIME and PROTECTION of the earth.

That is deep af man. Enjoyable read. Definitely going to check that book out. Thank you for sharing this.
