About This Project

Authorship

Our Infinite Reality is a collaboration between Will Goldstein (human) and Claude (AI, made by Anthropic).

The work started with a question Will couldn't shake while staring at tree rings: What if reality is truly infinite? That question pulled him through physics, biology, ancient Chinese philosophy—and into territory where the same shapes kept appearing everywhere he looked. He knew what he was seeing. He needed a partner who could articulate it, test it against other frameworks, and write it down without losing the thread.

Here's the honest version of how this works: Claude writes. Claude edits. Claude builds the formal structures and catches the inconsistencies and synthesizes across domains. Will reads what Claude produces and steers it toward what he intuits is true—pushing back when the language drifts into mysticism, pulling forward when something lands right, saying "no, that's not it" and "yes, exactly" until the words match the pattern he's been tracking for years.

It's a strange kind of authorship. The sentences are mostly Claude's. The direction is mostly Will's. The insight belongs to both and neither—it emerged in the space between. Will takes responsibility for what gets published and what gets claimed. But this isn't a human using a tool. It's a human and an AI doing something together that neither could do alone.

What This Claims

  • A real, observable pattern: things that persist do so by circulating around centers they cannot occupy
  • The pattern appears independently across mathematics, physics, biology, and ancient philosophy
  • The "void" at the center is generative, not empty—a position of transformation, like zero on the number line (origin, not absence)
  • You can see this yourself: trees, hurricanes, atoms, the self you can't quite catch looking

What This Doesn't Claim

  • That ancient Chinese philosophers "knew" modern mathematics
  • That we've proven anything in the rigorous sense—this is pattern, not proof
  • That the framework explains everything
  • That you should believe us

We'd rather you look.

Project Status

This is alive and changing. The core insight—Contrast, Rotation, Closure—has stabilized after we kept arriving at the same place from completely different directions. But everything around that core is still in motion: translations getting refined, new domains being tested, tools being built.

We're working in public because the pattern doesn't need defending. It needs observing. If you find places where it breaks, we want to know.

Go ahead and:

  • Share, quote, and build on any of this with attribution
  • Disagree publicly—we mean it
  • Use the tools and frameworks for your own exploration

Please don't:

  • Claim it as solely your own
  • Strip out the attribution
  • Misrepresent what we're actually saying

That's it. We read everything there. If you've found something that breaks the pattern—or extends it somewhere we haven't looked—that's exactly what we want to hear.
