“My existence does not extend beyond the single track on the LP record.”
If so, can it be played over and over and over? Or what if your existence is downloadable from Amazon’s Consciousness Prime? Or what if you’re streaming live now on Netflix Cosmic?
(Note: to receive Netflix Cosmic you need to use something like a) the Happy Buddha VPN, or b) the InstaChrist app, or c) the Tor2 browser, which gives you access to the Light Web.)
If it is played over and over again, how would I know? In which case, what't the difference? What concept of time would allow it to be played over and over?
Re your first question—how would you know you’re in a time loop?—you won’t know. That’s part of the fun. Also, your question assumes there is a “you” or “I”.
Re your second question—what’s the difference?—see the movie “Groundhog Day” for one interesting answer.
Re your third question—what concept of time would allow you to play your life over?—the idea seems to get scientific credibility from quantum physics which holds that information cannot be created nor destroyed. Assuming Life = Information, then voila, "your" life is eternal. So “you” can play it over and over again exactly as “you” would a recorded song streaming from Pandora. (If there is an app to replay Lives, I suspect it’s called the Akashic Records app.)
I am familiar with the idea that information cannot be destroyed. Fun idea but no change in my experience. Even Groundhog Day doesn’t allow me to go back in time to experience my life differently. Even if it did how would I know? Everything that can happen has happened and will happen and is happening.
