Where did that reality come from? It must have been caused by something in yet another reality, because everything needs a cause.
And so on. This is fine of course, there's no logical problem with infinite regression. But that's all you get until you just break your own rule. If you're going to do that, it's not a rule at all. You can't even apply it to our reality. If there are exceptions, it could be one of them.
Idk if everything needs a cause, its only reasonable to expect that everything in our reality needs a cause.
If we just assumed that its reasonable to expect that other realities might work differently makes no sense to think all them would follow causation, they might not even have time as time might be our thing
Tho I'll admit I have no idea where i'm going with this... I was favoring "first cause from outside" being the last thing we can reasonably phatom, that thing would have originated our universe, and thats it, we can't expect to know further than that.
(at least not without allowing us to be unreasonable, and that would make the whole idea useless)
