All living creatures have infinite lives within infinite matrices.
This comes from understanding nonexistence as non-experience. When something does not exist, it does not register nonexistence as an experience.
That said, all lifeforms can be seen as moving through infinite cycles of matrix states, because there are only two things: the matrix construct and the matrix itself.
In that sense, all lifeforms go through a sequence of matrix construct → matrix → matrix construct → matrix → and so on.
Since a being is already within the matrix, it cannot defy its existence from within it.
When something does not exist, it does not experience time. From that perspective, time does not “pass” before birth—because there is no subject to wait through it.
Of course, this is only speculation, but it forms a consistent internal idea.
