Sucks that this fascinating question is getting downvoted. It seems natural to wonder what the "real" world looks like, given that we see it through such a convoluted set of lenses. Does our sense of time and motion emerge through this latent sequence alone, or are they properties of any kind of memory? Are emotions part of this peculiar path of evolution or a part of sentience? Is sentience dependent on latent sequences?

Thank you for your support. I probably shouldn't have mentioned God, and I guess my remark was a little bit too concise. I'm not too familiar with contemporary philosophy, but recent insights brought on by LLMs sure made me want to revisit Wittgenstein. To take it even further (and risk a few more downvotes? :), are we entering a time where idealism can get a new foundation? It has always seemed pretty suspicious that science is so good at explaining natural phenomena [1]. Combine that with the idea that our brains cannot do more than basic logic [2], and one could easily conclude that we get to see only a very small part of totality.
