Multiple worldsThe world is unique - and there can be no "another" world, since the very "anotherness" is a kind of union. However, the world is diverse too, and there is an infinity of worlds that are the turns of the same hierarchy, with a particular unit as the top, the starting point. These multiple worlds are identical, since any one of them comprises the whole universe. However, they may look quite differently, and even be opposite to each other. For instance, the world centered on me is different from the world unfolding for somebody else - and there may be severe problems with compatibility. The more reasonable we are, the less effort we shall apply to "model" the another's world in our own. Reason is therefore closely related to universality, the "depth" of the possible unfolding of hierarchy: a comprehensive picture of my world should include the worlds of everybody else. Of course, such universality cannot be achieved in an instant, or in any finite system. That is why, one should speak with care about "human" and "non-human", or "conscious" and "non-conscious" forms - and a more flexible approach seeks for the traces of personality and consciousness in any particular instance, holding in the mind the presence of many features which have nothing to do with consciousness or personality.
