Journal mindpixel's Journal: Wundt-Einstein Hypersphere

Consider a hypersphere of the following dimensions-three affective dimensions, as per Wundt (pleasure, arousal, dominance) and then four space time dimensions. It is a Milnor-sphere, which happens to have maximum hypersurface. Any point on it that is not zero in the three Wundt dimensions, represents an experiencing being at a particular time and place. Your life as an experiencing being is a trajectory on its surface, as are the lives of all beings in the entire universe. I think it is this object that our limbic systems are trying to represent, and that our thalamocortical system is a second embedded Milnor-sphere that allows us to tag each point in our trajectory so that when we experience something similar, similar tags resonate and we have the effect of memory.
