Epistemic Review
Confidence: 42% I want to integrate my learnings into my knowledge base because I think the idea of QD is helpful for my general anxiety and depression issues. It also provides some scientifically-inclined explanation for a lot of our beliefs and what we thought was purely impossible to explain

Dramaturgy
The study of drama and the interplay of dramatic elements. Dramaturgy is about getting a story or a narrative to an actionable form
Computational Dramaturgy (also called Quantum Dramaturgy or QD) is a form of dramaturgy that focuses on understanding and interpreting how the universe works from an observer’s perspective. The key idea is that we are driven by some narrative, and the external world is a congregation of dramatic elements that are all playing together. QD seeks to unify this idea with the physical realm and explain how it all works from the context of computational physics. The big mechanism behind this is the concept of simulation theory - where a higher-order entity in a higher dimension is the one pulling the strings i.e. the reality that we’re perceiving, living, and interacting with
All conscious beings are narrative-driven. They have a set of goals and they follow a dramatic path to fulfilling them, as seen by a third-party observer. Dramaturgy is all about playing with the elements of drama and tying them together into a narrative that the side observer will care about and enjoy viewing. After all, a huge part of storytelling and movie direction happens keeping the viewers in mind
However, we are still sorely lacking on the “why” of it all. Why does the world work the way it does? Why is reality usually associated with something negative? Why are we unable to understand and learn everything there is to learn and know?
- Mathematical context
- Planck’s constant is integrated into our everyday lives
- Dramaturgy is quantized, just like any other form of information
- Everything matters, and everything is interconnected
- Why is everyone “good” individually but wars are bad?
- Helps make sense out of reality because it’s absurd
- Time is always linear
- We are part of something higher that’s exploring the universe dramaturgically
- Brahman - Immanent, immortal, supreme, and transcendental entity across all beings → self-discovery and exploration by Brahman
- Collective consciousness and effective learning passed down generations
- The individual is God - You can act in many different ways and produce new stories for everyone including yourself for live
