The Aztecs Knew Reality Was a Simulation: Bifurcation Nodes, Jung, Quantum Mechanics

What if “simulation theory” isn’t a modern internet meme, but an ancient intuition expressed in myth, ritual, and civilization-scale pattern recognition? In this longform monologue, the Dealer at the Point of Origin explains how bifurcation nodes and nonlinear mathematics describe reality as a cascading series of increasingly imperfect reflections—worlds branching from thresholds the way chaos theory predicts. From there, we step into Aztec cosmology and spiritual belief, the sociological machinery of Aztec society, and Carl Jung’s archetypes as recurring invariants that survive every cultural “render.” Then we connect it to theoretical physics and quantum mechanics: probability, decoherence, measurement, and why reality behaves less like a static object and more like a generative process.

The conclusion is both sobering and strangely beautiful: civilizations change costumes, technology changes the interface, but the underlying patterns remain. The sacrifices are quieter now, the temples are platforms, and the priests wear brand guidelines—but the nodes still split, the attractors still pull, and the human psyche still repeats its oldest shapes. Things don’t change. It’s just the internet now.
