Possible Bodies

We each are essentially a point within overall reality around which a processor and interface is formed.

Different configurations and position within overall reality allow for different capabilities and opportunities to interface on different levels.

Humans overcome their limitations by creating external tools, but it is not impossible for the capabilities of some of those tools to be made inherent in the design of a body.

Simple dental work can make someone capable of hearing radio broadcasts...
One person was born with the part of the brain which does math connected to the part which processes visual information at extreme speeds -making them a human supercomputer...
Some animals shape-shift... give off light...

The possibilities may be endless.

Imagine designing everything about your own body. I'd start with a full head of hair, but I do need help with math.

(I was thinking that God would need to be the point around which processing and interface originally formed -moving from greatest possible simplicity to complexity -self and environment as one and becoming more in tandem. Being all-present, all-powerful and all-knowing... even the definition of "time"... would not mean much in more simple configurations, but that position would grant those powers. Such a God could not be responsible for the fact that it existed and was basically capable -but could be personally responsible for all else once true decision-making was possible. As for self-awareness... it is a very important step which makes many new things possible, but it is basically considering one's self as if an observer -which would originally be everything becoming able to turn and look back on itself -understand itself -model itself in memory, etc. -which, again, would not mean as much in simple configurations.)

I'm mildly disappointed. From the thread title I thought it might be a critique of Kim Kardashian's physique. :D

I must admit I don't understand what it means to say we are a "point" around which a "processor" and an "interface" is formed. Can you give an example, to show what is the point, what the processor, and what the interface?

The point is essentially your location within the overall environment -and the central point of decision, awareness... made possible by the processor... your mind... and the interface... your body.

Due to the fact that your location (that central point of decision and awareness -"you" or "I") is behind -must sense and act through -the configuration of your mind and body -you are limited by location, configuration and level of interface. Without external tools, we interface on the physical/atomic level with our hands, for example.

Even the time of our initiation affects opportunity to interface -as we cannot change what happens before us (even reversing events to previous states is forward in "time"/sequence of events).

There might be some limiting factors to capabilities inherent in a body -such as a body having the capabilities of a gigantic antenna array being quite awkward -unless the same thing could be accomplished in a different way.

(If "everything" initially, naturally coalesced into a mind/body/environment from initial simplicity, that "I" would essentially be behind everything as it became more complex and capable. That position would allow for omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence. Once a self, everything could increasingly self-determine -though many decisions would be what I call 'no-brainers which require a brain'. It would simply be logical for an original to self-replicate, continue to do so, see the need for harmony, instruct and discipline inexperienced beings, order the environment, consider/design/prepare an environment for those new beings, etc.)
