We are the flies being stuck in a giant web of deceit. The question is:Who is the Spider?
Language is the stuff of the world, not quarks or wave-packets or neutrinos, but language. Everything is made of language. All the constructs of science are actually interlocking constructs of syntax. So that's ordinary language which seems to define reality through a kind of process of lying about it.
Cultural conditioning is like software, but beneath the software is the hardware of brain and organism and by dissolving the cultural conditioning to speak English, German, Swahili or whatever, then one returns to this ur-sprach, this primal language of the animal body and can explore the real dimension of feeling that culture has a tendency to cut us off from. Culture replaces authentic feeling with words.

also, the wonderful Terrence mckenna gives a really great description of this in the following article:

Given any field where records are kept and no matter the format they all will be based upon symbolism.
The entire records of time at our fingertips and yet nothing. Why is it that we paw at our own creation in the manner of a prehistoric Man drawing on walls? Fear can own and so we should face it own it instead. There is no difference between the evidence of these systems of Men combined and those tales of past which heralded certain people with an ability to remotely view from the mirror to the crystal ball, this is the digital equivalent we just aren't using it as we should.
It is strange how simple things seem once we know them.
So secrets die really do we need them? There is but one enemy here and that is Man, it is not corporations or governments it is Man. We may have made some horrendous choices over the past few hundred years but we can face the truth.
Finally a few thoughts as to the direction this is heading:
Science fiction is often beating Science to the punch and in a quirky way this is true here as well. The hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy is brought into new light when one considers that the guide is but the marriage of symbolism and scale, the exact specifics of the development of software to accomplish this is beyond the scope of this record but the idea is enough.
In holography and a few other fields of similar vein there has or still does exist a belief that the universe is but a 2D map, whether it is or not one cannot know (Wholeness and Implicate Order, or many of the spiritual texts) regardless it does not stop one developing a system in that vein. So here is some code for the experimental out there.

C# Wpf: www.datafilehost.com...
That is only a single method of interacting with the library many more exist.
There is not a more applicable system for describing the multi-verse as this Man made system which embodies the very essence of it.
