THE BEACON
The Cosmic Ocean
Garbotalk visualizes the universe as a vast, fluid ocean where space is a medium filled with light and dark matter rather than a void. Using the metaphor of whale songs, they describe how similar particles resonate and call to one another across the cosmos, creating an intricate network of information packets. When viewed at a distance, this interconnected web mirrors the structure of a neural net, leading to the conclusion that the universe is effectively a living consciousness or the “mind of God.” This perspective shifts the pursuit of real-time communication from a technical hurdle to a spiritual alignment with the natural flow of universal information.

Garbotalk: The way I visualize it, space is like an ocean. It is full of particles floating through a sea of dark and light matter. Similar particles can call to each other like whales across a distant ocean.
And when they connect, information spreads. So one whale calls to another, who sings to another, soon you have a network of packets of information traveling among the particles of the universe.
When you pull back from the universe and look at it from a distance, it reminds me of a neural net: the mind of God.
