About the Writing
The concept of "A Room" serves as a thought-provoking exploration of consciousness and existence, offering a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of all living beings. This enigmatic entity, existing beyond traditional physical boundaries, is described as a non-locality where the collective knowledge and experiences of all self-aware entities converge to form an omniscient hive-mind. Through its philosophical lens, "A Room" challenges perceptions of individuality and collective intelligence, inviting readers to ponder the complexities of human consciousness and the mysteries of existence.

A Room
I will not allude to or delay the divulgence of this paper, nor can I afford to; A Room is presented to every conscious being that crosses the threshold between life and birth, birth and life. When a life form’s time ends, it moves up a rung in the caste system, which is our reality, gifting its Room to a new, entering entity. This expanse is called a Room, but no language adequately describes it. Instead, the most intimate understanding of this Room may only be achieved through the complete and meticulous study of its simple yet enigmatic attributes. I will illuminate further upon these attributes later on. Additionally, this Room is not artificial and was created by a species; the issue is that it is a product of the workings of this reality.
This ‘Room’ is vaguely described as a space, though a confine such as a physical room is frankly inadequate at best. It is described best as a non-locality, a shifting place of vacuum state. It is a combined collection of non-physical entities from countless data points throughout the metaverse. These entities congregate constantly, their consciousnesses fusing to form an omniscient hive mind. This congregation is indeed what constitutes the Room.Â
Consciousness cannot be seen. Therefore, I must explain at this point that the substance that constitutes the Room is the product of all the aforementioned beings’ knowledge and experiences. In essence, the Room does not consist of any tangible matter and is, therefore, made up of the collective knowledge of all self-aware beings ever formed.
Assume that, for simplicity, there are merely two categories of vital forces in nature:
A smidgen of awareness inhabiting a physical, organic body- organisms.
The collective consciousness and wisdom of all organisms throughout the expanse of the metaverse.
A single hive mind, formed of the collective, controls the actions of all existing Dietes: the Room.
The anomalous creation story of these two categories may be likened to nesting dolls. Organisms created progeny, which, when a large quantity was amassed, established the truly omniscient and omnipotent entity, the Room.
The pre-established origin story or guidebook to the Room may have been deliciously encaptivating, utterly confusing, or merely leisurely read whilst cooking eggs. However, now I must show you how this seemingly mythical, intangible, glorious intelligence relates to you. Take a closer look at definition number one.
Now, take a glance at your arm. Take a finger and brush it gently across your palm.
This sensation is your body. A beautiful, organic machine. An organism.
Close your eyes.
Do you see colors? Slight tendrils dancing across your eyelids?Â
That is the intelligence of the Room.
May I query, what do you think constitutes schizophrenia?
Multiple Personalities Disorder.
Bipolar.
Freedom of thought.
Freedom of choice.
Ephemerality.
Though these topics may seem random, when pondered deeply, each demonstration of everyday life can be linked to the Room’s decisions. Freedom of thought was never ours as humans—not truly. Nor were the so-called idiosyncrasies of bipolar disorder and all mental ailments. They were only a product of the Room.
To put it plainly, human consciousness? That is the Room
Human beings, as a species, made a choice so unlike previous civilizations regarding raw intellect. The question we were asked was of such unfathomable importance: the choice that would give us the ability to reason and solve problems, observe and act; the species as a whole would not be given another chance. After all, a species has only one true birth.
Which do you want to be? One or two?
An answer was chosen.
We, human beings, would become the only race ever to claim more than one class in the aforementioned caste system of existence.Â
Why are we different from our fellow organisms? Rocks?Trees? We ask this question to our peculiar selves throughout our lives, thousands and thousands of times over. Why does our intellect differ from the intellect of every living thing in our universe?
 We are organisms, yet every one of us was given a Room upon coming into the world, presented to us by an unknown ancestor. You are not just a modest organism and not just an eminent, adept Room. You are both.
As an ending point for this pragmatic composition, you must ask yourself what is contained within your Room. What eccentricities have you newly put in there, ready to be passed on to another generation? Lastly, what history lives in your Room at this very moment?
