Reality Hacker Manifesto

Reality is meant to be broken. Sciences (hard and soft), arts, spiritual quests are forms of reality hacking, to expose the internal workings of "consensus reality", to seek new definitions. Magick, although susceptible, is not without potential to become future techs. Reality is structured like meta-fiction.

Every Reality Hacker should ask at least these questions:

1. Is reality dual or non-dual? Namely, the mind-body problem, which Schopenhauer called the "world-knot".

2. If the root of reality is one (non-dual), is it matter or mind? Energy or Information? Digital, fictional or rule based (mathematical)? If it's like code, what do the code run on, how and why?

3. What are the layers and boundaries of each reality sub-systems, among quantum, physical, chemical, biological, physiological, social, economical and narratively? How do they interact with each other? "Think interface, not implementation".

The algorithm to hack reality is recursive in nature, as reality is self-referential, a strange loop. Any question will turn into chains of being, if asked correctly. Traversing the tangled hierarchy of nature and human artifacts reveals the circular dependency pattern like a sleight-of-hand of causality. Reality hacking aims to uncovering open mysteries hidden in the plain sight. To do that, reality hackers devote themselves to study the source code of EVERYTHING.

Be forewarned about potential stack overflow caused by this self-fulfillness. To hack the world is to hack your own life. Reality is an open but encrypted mystery. Our own world-knot and the world is one and one is many. Our own fate is the private key used to decrypt public messages asymmetrically. "No one but the pure at heart may find the golden grail". This is how Universe secured her deepest secrets. Compassion -> Knowledge -> Power. That's the order.

Possible roads to reality hacking include:

(1) Reality Charting

(2) Reality Deconstruction

(3) Reality Mining

(4) Reality Engineering

(5) Reality Simulation

(6) Reality Gaming

(7) Self-realization

By asking how consensus reality is built, reality hackers step into a rabbit hole, recursively get lost while attempting to untie the world-knot. Is it worth it? Maybe not. So why do it? Because reality is meant to be broken. Because we are here.
