Knowledge-creation amounts to gaining greater access to the multiverse due to its irreversibility—or more precisely, it amounts to permeating across the multiverse due to its assimilative nature. Yet knowledge-creation must also imply access to previously inaccessible universes, owning to its unlimited improvability. The way in which one permeates the multiverse via knowledge-creation resembles, in some sense, Cantor’s Infinity Hotel.
To the extent that other times are special cases of other universes, knowledge-creation is also somewhat analogous to time travel—one that is mediated via assimilation.
