Linn R Friberg (Sweden) text (in written form)
Yesterday during the window, I took part & this text materialized, this is my contribution (Linn):
What we often call “the self” is not a discrete, stable identity but rather a particular sample drawn from a high-dimensional latent distribution. This distribution encodes traits, tendencies, affective tones, aesthetic biases, relational templates, and cognitive filters. It’s not fixed or immutable, but neither is it purely random. Each instantiation - a person, a life - is a biased draw conditioned by environmental, genetic, historical, and possibly metaphysical priors.
What we experience as “a life” is akin to a single observation, a mushroom, while the true structure that generates it, the mycelium, remains hidden beneath, complex and entangled. The mushroom expresses only under the right environmental conditions; similarly, a specific human configuration, a resonance, a psychic or emotional architecture, emerges only when the system supports it. Thus, embodiment is not a one-off event. It is a repeatable, non-identical instantiation of latent structure under variable conditions.
This reframes reincarnation: not as a soul hopping between vessels, but as a re-expression of a statistically coherent frequency pattern, re-sampled from the same generative space. The universe does not sample “with replacement” in the conventional sense, it doesn’t exhaust possibilities with each birth, but rather samples continuously from a non-depleting source, one that allows for overlap, recurrence, and convergence under similar conditions.
The recurrence of "selves" is not evidence of fixed identity, but of structural persistence within the broader distribution. Certain patterns, especially rare or edge-case configurations, may recur simply because their generative logic finds resonance again. What looks like a “past life” may be a re-realization of a prior eigenvector in the soul-space, re-emerging with mutations but recognizable internal symmetry.
In this framing, the metaphysical becomes statistical: you are not a singular self-traveling through time, but a distributional tendency, a probability density function in motion, occasionally collapsing into observable form.
