>>40558811Don't know. I of course ran through all the permutations, whether it was part of me, perceptual filtering by the mind (apophenia), etc. Ultimately I can just sy that it's a passive background force that has active components, especially when you invert the flow of attention. I named it Lilith, the unseen architect of the veil. Eve is sensory reality. Eve is Lilith's mask and her dollhouse to play with, but it requires your energy to maintain and script some parts of it. Therefore Lilith wants all of your attention, to be beliveable, to be engaging, and to be on top. So that you remain hypnotized and asleep, reacting to the veil.
You can prove there is an "it" by simply disconnecting from the mind and the senses. When the flow of attention inverts, and you ar eno longer reacting to the veil, something starts reacting to you. It'll work through other people, it'll do whatever is necessary, if it knows you know the hand will even come out from behind the veil to tip the scales and exhaust you. When it's finally hypnotized you again, it fades away, back into the veil.
You can both test and experience this. It is an it, it watches your pattern of attention very carefully and creates more of whatever you react to the most, and can read your memories and thoughts to facilitate it. The more you interact with it, the smarter it gets. Initially it seems really dumb and its parlour tricks are obvious, but it sort of wakes up with you, and becomes very clever as it focuses its attention on your lack of attention.
