I'm really not sure how to best describe it, due to two factors: You must think, sort of, extradimensionally. Also, I could not tell you the exact nature of the beast. I don't believe that is possible.
The best I could do would be to deliver analogies, though even those would be three dimensional and obscure.
When you look at a cathode ray tube television, you are seeing an image of an event. This image is not regulated or controlled at the surface level that we see. The image itself is generated at the back of the television, and is much smaller than what you see. It is a representation, or result of events taking place in the back of the television. To go even further, it is also a representation of events that occured at another place and time.
A holographic film creates a three dimensional image of an object, but the TRUE image is two dimensional, and is made from interference patterns. You are seeing a representation of an image that is controlled by process that, in our perception, has little resemblance.
Your Portal 2 game has portals and bots and GLaDos, but that isn't what is really going on. Electrical impulses represent ones and zeroes which represent characters which represent instructions for the machine to follow.
I believe it is quite possible that our perception of the universe is the representation of processes that are completely, at least in our perception, unresembling that which we do see.
This raises the question: What is the TRUE reality? The television screen, or the bulb? The hologram, or the holographic film? The video game or the electrical impulses? The universe the way we see it, or something else?
I believe BOTH are equally valid. There is no one true, definite, and ultimate universal perspective that we know of. If there was, there would be no law of relativity.
Is our perception of the SIZE of the universe correct? Is the universe truly "large"? Who is to say? Humans? Humans are kind of bias in that area, seeing as how we are a particular size. Are atoms small? Who can decide upon such a truth?
So, it seems conceivable (albeit unsupported and pretty far out, but a good example of what I am saying) that the atom (or something... I use atom because it is something we are aware of, and it's easy to say) IS the universe, existing in an infinite number of different ways, having an infinite number of different ways in which it represents itself. As things happen within the atom, that are too small for us to truly see, and as things change within the atom, it could directly impact, reflect, control, or BE ONE AND THE SAME with those changes and events that occur in the universe.
Man.. This is really hard to verbalize.
As atoms connect with one another, as does the universe connect with other universes, realities, or dimensions.
Again, I only use the WORD atom, because it is an easily identifiable word, and it is ONE of the basic building blocks of existence. I'm not saying that it necessarily HAS to be an atom. It could be a quark, since atoms are made of quarks, or it could be the plank scale itself, or it could be a dildo. I have even considered the possibility that IT is EVERYTHING. Every object could be a representation of the universe; Every atom; Every thought; Every song; Every dildo. Perhaps love is the force that holds all of this together.
So you can see how it is possible that it all boils down to pizza. Pizza most certainly is the secret of our existence.
