Crazy idea #189356

Cartoon Logic Law #1: If you run/walk/etc. off the edge of a cliff you will continue to run/walk/etc. as if running/walking/etc. on solid ground until such a time that you realize that you have in fact run/walk/etc. off a cliff.

Cartoon Logic Law #2: A entity can move through solid matter if an artwork that is painted on that solid matter that depicts some kind of hole through that matter. i.e. a tunnel being painted on a rock. This same feat is not available to the entity that created this artwork knowing full well that it is simply an artwork.

This works off the consensus/subjective nature of reality. This shows that consensus reality is the natural state of reality. And that subjective reality can be obtained when the entity is unaware of their state (i.e. that they have just run off a cliff). This raises the question though if one can refute consensus reality in any way and actively turn their back on it. This would obviously require the individual to completely purge themselves of any doubt as to the the falseness of consensus reality.

This second theory is supported by the exception of Cartoon Logic Law #2:

In special occasions, given certain deliberate circumstances, it is possible for the creator of said artwork to use that artwork as a way to travel through solid matter. This ability is directly related to the ability to manipulate reality in other ways and is given to the same laws of circumstances

Given this exception, it could be said that these circumstances involve the rejection, if only temporarily, of the laws of consensus reality. Posted by Matt at April 1, 2003 01:06 AM
