You already understand well enough that to look through a window is to look at a picture that may or may not bear a resemblance that which is beyond the window. The world is not the world and neither is the world. You understand that to step through a doorway is to pass into a world which is neither more nor less authentic than the one which you have just left.

The compression ratio which forces the world to cohere is a local valence held together by the charisma of local algorithmic functions that might pass for archonic gravities
