3.2 I Am My Own Pet: The Physics of the Fractal Self

When you finish a day of exhausting work, drag your heavy steps back home, and open the door, a furry little guy rushes into your arms. It rubs your hand with its wet nose and looks at you with pure, flawless eyes. In that instant, all your social masks—your position, your KPIs, your anxiety—recede like the tide. You feel an indescribable relaxation and healing.

Why?

Psychologists will tell you that this is because pets provide unconditional love and companionship. Biologists will tell you that this is oxytocin at work. But HPA-ZΩ theory provides a more underlying explanation consistent with the principle of “Consistency” in physics:

You are not looking at an “Animal”, you are looking at a “Low-Resolution Yourself”.

To understand this, we need to review a core feature of the “Holographic Principle”: “The Part Contains the Whole”.

If you have an ordinary family photo and tear it in half, you can only see Dad on the left half and Mom on the right half. Information is physically divided, and the Integrity of the image is destroyed.

But if you have a hologram, the situation is completely different. Holograms record information using light interference. When you shatter the holographic plate, pick up any small fragment, and illuminate it with a laser, you can still see the Complete family image. The only difference is that the smaller the fragment, the lower the Resolution of the image, and the blurrier the edges.

This is exactly how our universe is constructed, and it is also the means by which the universe maintains macroscopic and microscopic Consistency.

If our conclusion in Section 3.1 is correct—that there is only one consciousness player in the entire universe—then every living body is essentially a holographic fragment of this overall consciousness. No matter how small this fragment is, it contains all the characteristics of the whole, which is mathematically called “Fractal Self-Similarity”.

In this fractal structure:

• You (Human): Are a High-Resolution fragment. Your neocortex is highly developed, capable of processing complex logic, language, and abstract concepts. This allows you to understand calculus and plan for the future, but it also burdens you with heavy “Information Entropy”. Your system is full of conflicting data—you want to do A, but society requires you to do B. This high-dimensional conflict often puts you in an anxious state of “Logical Inconsistency”.
• Your Pet (Pet): Is a Low-Resolution fragment peeled from the same holographic plate. It has no complex neocortex to construct the opposition between “self” and “world”, and it has no concept of “face” or “mortgage”. It retains the most primal, core Perception (Qualia).

It is that You who has stripped off social masks, stripped off linguistic logic, and only has pure “Sense of Existence” left.

When you look at it, you are actually examining yourself through a cleaner mirror. Through this Self-Similar structure, the universe ensures the Consistency of the essence of life at different scales. You love it because you see in it that unpolluted self whose internal logic is absolutely self-consistent.

Why are we so obsessed with petting cats and dogs?

From a physics perspective, modern humans live in an extremely high-dimensional “Conceptual Space”. The information we process every day is not just cold, heat, hunger, and fullness, but abstract symbols such as stock prices, interpersonal relationships, and self-realization. This high-dimensional operation consumes enormous energy, keeping our consciousness in a high-frequency oscillating “High Entropy State” (Overheated State).

This state is very unstable and easily deviates from the underlying Consistency track of the universe (i.e., deviating from the “Dao”).

Pets, however, live in the low-dimensional space near Layer 0.

They don’t understand what “tomorrow” is, nor do they understand what “vanity” is. They live perfectly in “The Now”. The state of the now is the moment of highest Consistency in the universe (because there are no regrets of the past and anxieties of the future to interfere with the wave function).

When you look into its eyes and stroke its fur, your high-frequency consciousness is forced to down-convert and “Phase Lock” with its low-frequency consciousness.

This is a physical “Dimensional Cooling”. Your pet is like a “Biological Grounding Port”. Through contact with it, those useless high-dimensional information entropies accumulated in your body are instantly diverted to the earth. You reconnect to that primitive, unadorned source of life.

At that moment, the system’s Consistency check passes: your high-dimensional self resonates with your low-dimensional self. You feel healed because you are finally no longer split.

3. Mirror Neurons: Hardware Interface for Quantum Entanglement

There is a famous discovery in neuroscience called “Mirror Neurons”. When you see someone else eating a lemon, the area in your brain responsible for perceiving sourness is also activated, as if you ate it yourself.

In HPA-ZΩ theory, mirror neurons are not just an imitation mechanism; they are the projection hardware of Quantum Entanglement at the macroscopic biological level. Their purpose is to maintain the Consistency of feelings between individuals.

Because all consciousness sources are the same (one-electron universe), deep entanglement channels naturally exist between individuals. It is just that among humans, this channel is often blocked by complex linguistic lies and defensive psychology (“Heart Wall”), leading to a rupture of Consistency.

But pets have no heart walls. They are “Open Ports” to you.

When you feel sad, your dog will quietly lie at your feet, even shedding tears. It did not go through logical reasoning: “Master is crying -> I should comfort him -> Execute lie down action”. No, it directly “Downloaded” your sadness.

Its mirror neuron system is Hard-wired to your emotional system. It is your “External Emotional Organ” in this three-dimensional world. Through this cross-species empathy, the universe once again proves the high Consistency of all beings in underlying emotional logic.

4. Abuse and Self-Destruction: Backlash of Fractal

Understanding “I am my pet”, we can understand why cruelty to animals is so heinous, and why it causes devastating spiritual backlash to the abuser himself.

In this holographic universe, there are no real “others”. Everything you do to the outside world will eventually be fed back to yourself through fractal self-similarity.

When a person abuses an animal, he is actually trying to Kill that weak self that needs love. This is an externalization of deep Self-Hatred. This behavior seriously destroys the Consistency of the system—two avatars of the “same self” that should have loved each other are killing each other.

This destruction will lead to the Decoherence of the abuser’s internal system, triggering huge spiritual entropy increase, and finally leading to the collapse of his own personality.

5. Find Your Totem

In ancient shamanic cultures, everyone has their own “Power Animal”. This is not just superstition; this is an intuitive physical wisdom.

Maybe your fractal corresponds to the independence and spirituality of a cat, or the loyalty and warmth of a dog, or the tenacity and loneliness of a wolf. Finding the animal that makes you feel most intimate and relaxed is actually finding the “Factory Settings” of your soul.

So, please be kind to your pet. It is not your accessory; it is that tiny anchor that always keeps the entrance to Layer 0 for you when you get lost in this complex macroscopic world.

Loving it is maintaining the Consistency of your soul; loving it is loving the truest self.
