overflowing fountain

the universe was created for love. the universe is a gift and not a need; that would make it transactional. An artist creates because they have a vision that they need to externalize; a developer writes code for a simulation, not "using" the computer; they are expressing a set of possibilities. the simulation is the overflow of their own understanding. the universe is a dynamic, participatory, complex system that wants to be understood. when studying astrophysics, you're not just only looking at rocks and gasses; you are interacting with the rules of the system. the purpose of humanity is to be part of the universe that achieves consciousness. we reflect the universe on itself. we are the overflow that gains the ability to experience its own beauty.
