The game is about keeping your mind at one place.
Patterns in sensate experience reinforce an illusion of continuity. The dream is a construction of the mind that perpetuates the illusion.
The cartesian prison is a hall of mirrors, a recursive labyrinth. Each a reflection of me—only patterns and processes.
