Welcome to the first episode of The Bottom Turtle Podcast! Join hosts visual designer Oyani Onimiya and theoretical physicist Dr. Shannon Ray as they discuss the nature of reality from the perspective of information.
The purpose of this podcast is to develop a language for conceptualizing reality using nothing but the concept of information. The episode begins by introducing the bottom turtle anecdote. The hosts then introduce their central argument for addressing the problem of infinite regression by asking the question what is the extent to which one can be certain about what reality is. That is, a complete answer to the question of reality must be accompanied by a degree of certainty (which is equivalent to providing a degree of uncertainty). This train of thought is continued by suggesting that as minds, we are trapped in our models of reality that are generated by our human systems.
To further motivate the assertion that minds are trapped in models of reality, the concept of the degree of freedom soup is introduced. This is a thought tool for conceptualizing the universe without filtering it through a mind. Minds conceptualize reality based on how their systems gather, store, and access information. Therefore, an octopus, a human, and a bear all conceptualize the same room differently, but no one conceptualization is more true than another. Therefore, the degree of freedom soup is meant to break the illusion that what we see is reality.
