• 398398Codex case fileDo wormholes allow time travel?In general relativity, a suitably traversable wormhole could in principle connect different times, especially if its mouths acquire a time offset.9 sourcesOpen →
• 422422Codex case fileCan humans alter the code of realityHumans can alter their circumstances through technology, action, and collective choices, but no evidence establishes that we can rewrite the universe’s underlying laws.9 sourcesOpen →
• 483483Codex case fileCan consciousness move through time?Consciousness clearly constructs experiences of past and future: episodic memory and future imagination are commonly called mental time travel, with identifiable brain…9 sourcesOpen →

• 299299Codex case fileInner alignment failuresInner alignment failures arise when a trained system’s internally learned objective or strategy diverges from the training objective, especially after deployment.9 sourcesOpen →
• 423423Codex case fileWhat is simulation theory?Simulation theory proposes that our experienced universe could be an artificial, computer-generated reality rather than fundamental reality.9 sourcesOpen →
• 390390Codex case fileAre synchronicities evidence of agency?Synchronicities can feel like evidence of agency because unrelated events may appear personally meaningful and unusually well aligned.9 sourcesOpen →
• 358358Codex case fileCan verification stop misaligned models?The sources indicate that verification can catch some behavioral bugs, constrain actions, and improve reasoning, especially when paired with deterministic checks…9 sourcesOpen →
• 381381Codex case fileDid CERN cause the timeline to change?The sources provide no scientific evidence that CERN changed the timeline; skeptical accounts describe the claim as a conflation of particle physics with Mandela Effect…9 sourcesOpen →
• 438438Codex case fileDoes DMT reveal the simulation we live inDMT can produce vivid experiences of geometric forms, entities, and apparent “code,” but those experiences alone do not demonstrate that the universe is simulated.9 sourcesOpen →
