The Retained Information Space: A Holographic Recording Dimension in Lifechanyuan's Cosmological Epistemology¶
In Lifechanyuan terminology, LIFE (capitalized) refers to the ontological essence of existence — the soul/antimatter structure that persists across incarnations — while life (lowercase) refers to the experiential stage of human existence in this world.
Abstract¶
The Retained Information Space is one of the 36-dimensional spaces in Lifechanyuan's cosmological system, explicitly designated as the Fifth Dimension of the universe — existing beyond the Fourth Dimension of time and preceding the Sixth Dimension of spatial movement. Its central proposition is that all matter in the universe naturally possesses holographic recording attributes; every word, action, and inner thought of every living being is permanently archived in this space, coexisting with the universe and never disappearing. This article provides a systematic analysis of the concept from four perspectives: primary textual sources, internal logical structure, epistemological function, and comparative research.
Ethical Statement¶
This article is written from a position of academic inquiry. Its aim is to objectively present the internal logic and theoretical function of the Retained Information Space concept within Lifechanyuan's system of thought. It does not constitute a judgment on the truth or falsity of the cosmological claims presented.

II. Internal Logical Structure¶
2.1 Ontological Foundation: The Holographic Recording Attribute of Matter¶
The ontological foundation of the Retained Information Space concept is cosmic holography — any matter, by virtue of its very existence, naturally possesses the attribute of recording information about its surroundings. The primary texts express this as "all matter is photographic film" — an ontological assertion that cuts across epistemological domains, not a metaphor.
The logical chain is as follows: 1. Matter moves → leaves non-immediately-disappearing information at sites of activity 2. All matter = photographic film 3. Retained Information Space = the cosmic space capable of displaying already-occurred scenes 4. This space permanently archives → coexists with the universe, never disappearing
2.2 Epistemological Dimension: The Cosmic Visibility of Inner Thoughts¶
The Inspiration of the Camera advances an epistemological claim: inner thoughts are likewise perceived and recorded by the universe.
The mechanism is described as: inner mental activity → converted into frequency waves → transmitted into the universe → biological wave color simultaneously changes → universe perceives and records.
This argument brings the hidden dimension of moral behavior (private desire, private intention) within the scope of cosmic visibility, giving the moral justice of "the distinction between good and evil" an information-theoretic cosmological basis.
2.3 The Repositioning of Memory¶
Within the framework of modern neuroscience, memory is understood as a biochemical structure stored in synaptic connections. Lifechanyuan advances a fundamentally different proposition: "What we call memory is the brain retrieving data from the Retained Information Space — the brain does not store historical data itself."
This repositions the brain from memory "warehouse" to memory "interface," with the true information repository at the cosmic level (the Retained Information Space). This argument simultaneously accounts for the phenomenon of hypnotic recall (consciousness retrieving historical data directly from the Retained Information Space) and for meeting deceased loved ones in dreams (consciousness in the sleep state contacting information left by the deceased in the Retained Information Space).
2.4 Dimensional Positioning: The Fifth Dimension¶
The Blind Spots of Superstring Theory provides an explicit dimensional ordering: - Third Dimension: height (space) - Fourth Dimension: time - Fifth Dimension: retained information - Sixth Dimension: spatial movement
Retained information exists after time and before spatial movement — an independently existing dimensional stratum in the cosmic structure. This positioning has no direct counterpart in modern physical theories of dimensionality; it represents an original layering of the cosmic structure within Lifechanyuan's system.
2.5 The Information Basis of the Karma Mechanism¶
Lifechanyuan's theory of karma does not rely on a personified-divine model of "divine judgment" but on the information mechanism of the Retained Information Space:
- Words, actions, and thoughts → precisely archived in the Retained Information Space
- "Dao's screen" displays merit and fault in real time
- Karmic moment arrives → information triggers retribution
- Rewards and penalties enacted → not divine intervention, but the Dao's automatic operation
The Inspiration of the Heavenly Gatekeeper Angel states explicitly: "Every person's merit, fault, and state of LIFE are recorded with complete clarity in the Retained Information Space and displayed on the Dao's screen without the slightest omission. I will not use the F-coins that individuals have calculated as the basis for determining whether a person may enter Heaven." — This indicates that the Retained Information Space is a more fundamental medium of karmic record than any human accounting system.
III. Comparative Research¶
3.1 Comparison with the Akashic Records¶
The Western esoteric tradition includes the concept of the Akashic Records, which holds that the universe stores a record of all events, thoughts, and emotions. The two concepts share a high degree of structural similarity — both posit a cosmic-level system of permanent information archiving. The principal differences are:
| Dimension | Akashic Records | Retained Information Space |
|---|---|---|
| Theoretical origin | Theosophy, anthroposophy | Lifechanyuan cosmological system |
| Mode of access | Channeling, meditation | Buddha Eye, hypnosis |
| Dimensional positioning | No explicit dimensional number | Fifth Dimension (explicit) |
| Relationship to karma | Relatively vague | Directly serves as basis for rewards and penalties |
| Memory mechanism | Not directly addressed | Explicitly defined: brain as retrieval interface |
3.2 Dialogue with Quantum Information Theory¶
Quantum physics' concept of "quantum entanglement" and the "quantum no-deleting theorem" (and debates over information conservation in black hole evaporation) bear a structural resonance with the Retained Information Space's proposition that "information never disappears." However, Lifechanyuan's account does not derive from quantum theory — it is grounded in direct revelation as presented in primary texts. The relationship between the two is one of structural analogy, not theoretical inheritance.
3.3 Relationship to Chinese Traditional Ethics¶
"Three feet above one's head there are divine beings" (Chinese folk proverb) and "private words among humans thunder in Heaven; a guilty conscience in a dark room is seen by divine eyes as lightning" (Value 211) are intuitive expressions in Chinese traditional moral culture of the universe's watchful character. Lifechanyuan's contribution lies in elevating this cultural intuition from moral exhortation to a complete epistemological framework with cosmic structural positioning (the Fifth Dimension), mechanistic description (frequency waves, photographic film), and karmic function (information-driven rewards and penalties).
IV. Theoretical Limitations and Open Questions¶
-
The physical mechanism by which matter records information: Primary texts do not detail how the photographic film analogy is realized at the microphysical level; the substrate and form of "information retention" remain without an operational definition.
-
The reproducibility of the Buddha Eye: The assertion that those who have attained the Buddha Eye can read retained information currently lacks a pathway to verification within existing scientific frameworks.
-
The relationship between the Fifth Dimension and dimensions in modern string theory: Lifechanyuan's 36-dimensional space system and the extra dimensions of superstring theory operate under different naming logics; the correspondence between them has not been explicitly addressed in Lifechanyuan texts.
-
The physical correlate of thought frequency waves: The mechanism by which thought → frequency wave → cosmic reception is described has no direct counterpart in current neurophysics and remains a central proposition awaiting further explication.
V. Conclusion¶
The Retained Information Space is a core concept in Lifechanyuan's cosmology that serves simultaneously epistemological, ethical, and metaphysical functions. It transforms "the justice of the Dao" from moral exhortation into an information mechanism; it transforms karmic retribution from religious belief into a system driven by cosmic records and operating automatically; it transforms the nature of human memory from a neuroscientific proposition into a cosmic interface proposition. As an integral component of the 36-dimensional space system, the Retained Information Space — together with the Inter-Realm Transit Continent, the High-Life Spaces, and other core concepts — forms one of the most concrete and systematic theoretical architectures in Lifechanyuan's cosmology.
