Summary of Total Pixel Space

The video "Total Pixel Space" explores the concept of the vastness and mathematical nature of all possible digital images and films, framing pixels as fundamental building blocks that define every image uniquely through numerical coordinates. Key technological and conceptual points include:

• pixels as Numerical Coordinates: Every digital image can be represented as a unique sequence of numbers corresponding to pixel color and position. This means every conceivable image exists as a point in an abstract coordinate space, guaranteed by mathematics.
• Magnitude of Possible Images: Using 24-bit RGB color (16.7 million colors) and a resolution of about 1 million pixels, the total number of possible images is an unimaginably large but finite number (a 7 followed by over 7.5 million digits), vastly exceeding the number of atoms in the universe.
• Total Pixel Space: This conceptual space contains every possible digital image and film, including:
  • Every photograph that could ever be taken
  • Every frame of every possible film
  • Every face, object, event, and life, real or imagined
  • Imaginary scenes defying physics and logic
  • Entire histories, alien civilizations, natural phenomena, microscopic life, and future discoveries
• Rarity of Meaningful Images: Within this immense space, recognizable or natural images are extremely rare "islands" amid a vast "sea" of noise. Physical laws and the nature of light and matter constrain which images form meaningful reality.
• Time as Static Frames: Time is reframed as a series of static, timeless frames (images), each fully defined and unchanging. The perception of time flowing is described as consciousness moving through these frames, akin to watching a pre-existing film.
• Number of Possible films: Extending the image concept to films, the number of possible 2-hour films at 24 frames per second is a number with 1.3 trillion digits, emphasizing the enormity of Total Pixel Space.
• Philosophical Implications:
  • Time and existence are deterministic yet allow freedom through consciousness navigating this space.
  • Evolution and life’s development are seen as discovery within a pre-mapped space of possibilities.
  • Chaos and order coexist, with meaningful reality emerging from the contrast between them.
