Games are a tool to help us understand reality more deeply.
Some games have a mechanic called the Time Loop. Examples include Outer Wilds and Minit. The game resets after a fixed amount of realtime, and the player finds themself back at the beginning, with everything in the gameworld back to how it was. The only difference is that they now have more experience of what can happen in the game. The game progresses through exploration and experimentation, with the player's mistakes erased every time. More and more of the game becomes accessible because of the player's increasing knowledge. Sometimes the player goes down a dead end for a while, and nothing new is found. That's okay. The loop carries them.
In the real world, among those creatures which learn, each living being arrives with a pretty limited built-in understanding of the world. Most of our knowledge comes through experience. Some of that knowledge is gained through direct experience, and some of it is gained indirectly, in the form of wisdom that is passed on to us. We make mistakes and we learn. We change the world and we share what we have learned. Our learning allows us to access different facets of life and the world. Sometimes we get stuck. We get through it, one way or another. The universe carries us.
The player of the game experiences the same lifetime over and over, losing to the reset all of the physical results of their actions, but gaining more and more information. In our world, it seems that we experience only one lifetime, and that the world loses our knowledge upon death. But in that lifetime we receive from all of the other lifetimes in the world all of the information that they can share, and all of the physical results of their actions.
We are living in a time loop. Not that our individual lives are repeating, but that The Lifetime is repeating. Each individual life is a repetition of the time loop, and the knowledge that The Player carries forward is the flow of information throughout the universe. The reset of death is inevitable for all limited creatures, but the loop is endemic to the universe. Everything continues.
