Hoffman’s core thesis is that space-time is not fundamental. What we call “physical reality” may be more like an evolutionary interface, a useful dashboard generated by deeper interactions among conscious agents. Gallimore brings this framework into one of the strangest frontiers of neuroscience and consciousness research: Hidden worlds, entities, impossible geometries, and the possibility that altered states may reveal normally hidden layers of reality.

In this conversation, we explore whether entities are “just hallucinations,” whether consciousness could be fundamental, how Hoffman’s mathematics may help explain alien worlds of experience, and why Gallimore believes the future of science may involve mapping other regions of mind or even testing whether non-human intelligences can be encountered there.

This one goes deep: altered states, simulation theory, conscious realism, machine elves, the interface theory of perception, impossible geometry, alien intelligence, and the question of whether the brain produces consciousness — or explores it.
