Lesson 10: The Lusion

You've never actually touched the raw universe. What you've touched, your whole life, is a render — colors instead of wavelengths, solid objects instead of probability clouds, the feeling of having a body instead of a flurry of uncoordinated nerve signals.

The lusion is not a lie your brain tells you — a lusion, not an illusion — it's a dashboard, half a billion years in the making, so reliable that you trust it completely without a second thought. You already know this in miniature every morning: that half second after waking when the render hasn't finished loading yet, and the world feels, just briefly, unstitched.
