Summary
Personal history-based and personal experience-based philosophy of synthetic worlds is expressed in an attempt to construct the general philosophical framework to model and create synthetic worlds and to establish communications with the real world we live. As a ground to characterize the worlds, both synthetic and real, the nonlinear and singular nature of the worlds is researched.
