Light and Functionally Infinite Speed
I just thought about something traveling at infinite speed. I feel like concepts such as speed provide the best hope for illuminating the concept of "functionally infinite," within parameters- including for values that are presently considered purely conceptual, as light is a concept with a material tether in the physical world, at the speed of light of 299,792,458 m/s. "Purely conceptual" concepts have similar limits, either of the human brain or whatever processor is calculating the concept, if considered over the lifespan of the processor. If a mote of light did travel at a functionally infinite speed for one moment of its own perspective, it could trace every point in our universe for the entirety of the universe's duration and likely many many other alternate/connected universes, maybe the many worlds interpretation multiverse, etc. In fact, as I consider it, "functionally infinite" is defined as the highest value calculable for the full scope of resources available, assuming the most efficient processor. As here we are calculating light moving, and its movement traces and makes available new space as it travels, if that new space can continue adding additional elements of the processor (reality being the processor) then it could hypothetically just keep going forever in this way. The value traced from its inception would always be functionally infinite in the moment of measurement, but that value would be ever increasing as time passes- a single "moment" lasting forever, once the right shape was found to allow that procedural generation to continue forever. If two motes of lights were paired and synchronized, this could result in both motes of light creating and experiencing the paired reality in a balanced way.
