Infinities argument for immortality

From Aware Theory

There exist different sizes of infinities. They are defined based on different axioms. Some axioms let you divide infinities and get a useful answer and some do not. The concept of infinities is not well understood. It has caused a lot of confusion in philosophy. It can however be used for arguments for life after death and immortality.

For more information on infinities see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Cantor

The Infinities argument for immortality is based on either an infinite number divided by a finite number or an infinite number divided by a smaller infinite number. thus getting a number of one or greater. this can be interpreted into 100% or more likelihood of something existing or happening. The infinities argument can be applied in many ways to many different situations. Psychexistology has pared down the necessary elements of life after death to structure and functioning. But the infinities argument still works even with more complicated theories of consciousness and ixperiencitness.

We will apply the infinities argument to two concepts. Structure and functioning of a human brain producing the exact same consciousness some where in the universe or multiverse. There are there general levels of difficulty in the argument

The first and easiest level is producing someone's ixperiencitness again.

The second level is producing everyones ixperiencitness again.

The third level is any particular consciousness that has existed will exist or be produced again.

These conditions produce life after death once. Immortality means that life after death can occur over and over again. Immortality of a body means that it never dies, but immortality of consciousness and immortality of ixperiencitness is different. If we recursively apply these concepts, we get immortality of consciousness and ixperiencitness.

For immortality to exist it does not have to exist for everyone. When we think of immortality we think of immortality of ixperiencitness and not of a specific consciousness. If you experience almost any consciousness after death this is life after death for you.

To produce someone's ixperiencitness we need to produce a physapath that produces that ixperiencitness. A physapath is very complicated. The more complicated the consciousness the less likely it is to be produced randomly. However, the more complicated it is the more likely it will be produced intentionally. For example, if we could produce a specific consciousness it is more likely to produce our level of consciousness rather than a lower level such as a monkey's.

The infinities argument is, simply, if the universe is infinitely big, complex, and exists for an infinite amount of time any particular physipath has a very high probability of existing again (life after death) and over and over again (immortality). Even if the universe is finite in size and complexity, there can still be a high probability of existing again consciously. But if the time is finite for universes being able to produce the required physapaths then there is a limit to life after death thus no real immortality.
