# Appendix D: Parking Lot - Open Questions & Philosophical Musings *(Entries 1-16 remain as documented previously)* **Entry 17: Git, Differential History, and Pre-existing Information (Ref: Post-Sprint 55 Discussion)** * **Musing:** Version control systems like Git operate on *differences* (diffs) relative to previous states. The full state exists, but we often interact with changes. Does this analogy apply to IO? Is the universe's information pre-existing (like a full Git repo), and our experience/EQR manifestation only reveals *changes* or *differences* relative to our previous state or interaction context? Does this relate to the block universe idea where everything "already exists"? * **Potential Relevance:** Offers a different perspective on Sequence (τ) as navigating a pre-existing information structure by registering differences. Could impact how we model state updates and information gain in EQR. Might connect to the idea of "discovery vs. creation." * **Status:** Parked conceptual analogy. Needs exploration of how dynamics would work if only differences are processed locally. **Entry 18: Reconciling Different Graphs/Domains & Internal Infinities (Ref: Post-Sprint 55 Discussion)** * **Musing:** If different observers or systems build different constructs/models (Î_model), potentially represented as different graphs or domains (physics vs. biology vs. personal experience), how are these reconciled? How do interactions *between* these different constructed domains occur? Furthermore, could the elements of our chosen discrete model (nodes/edges in the hypergraph) themselves possess internal infinite complexity or structure (like a fractal, or a continuous field within the node)? "Infinitely many edges within an edge?" * **Potential Relevance:** Addresses inter-domain communication and the limits of a single descriptive framework. The idea of internal infinities within discrete elements could offer a way to reconcile the fundamental continuum (I/κ) with an operational discrete network model, potentially resolving the continuum-discrete tension differently than EQR alone. * **Status:** Deep ontological question. The "internal infinity" idea is highly speculative but potentially powerful for reconciling continuity and discreteness. Parked for future foundational work. *(This appendix will be updated with new musings/questions as they arise during development)*
