Is there any way to describe this belief?

Is there any way to describe this belief?
I have a belief that anything and every idea is possibly true. And if an idea cannot be true here, it is true somewhere else. I haven't thought on the idea much, but it does match how I think.

Question is: can you provide a coherent way to test your idea? Can you show others that a particular idea has merit?

That is the belief of being absolutely unsure about absolutely everything. Tongue

Kind of ridiculous, if you ask me.

I'm just beginning to explore this idea. I need names of similar ideas so I have somewhere to begin. I'm not presenting this as a theory to be taken seriously right now. I'm asking for names.

No I'm sure what is real here is still real. Reality is real here, but reality is different everywhere else.

Yes thank you. It is pretty close. Not exact, but close enough.

I can't even find confirmation that this is even a real term. I can't explore a concept with 8 google results.

Agnostic refers to the knowability of things; specifically that things can probably not be known. Pan is a prefix meaning all things, so that would ascribe agnostic to all things. I am not one now, but once considered myself to be such. I held a six dimensional model of reality in which I imagined that the three physical dimensions moved along an axis of time. Any moment in time would be an infinite time slice, a infinite plane of time, that contained all things that could be conceived. Decisions made along the time line would push your point of perception "up", "down", "left", or "right" within the next time slice such that your past would be a slowly curving noodle or straight depending on which decisions you make.

Now I think of reality as deterministic with all past happenings having a probablity of 1/1 and future posibilities occuring based on a causal chain that, if you had a perfect enough model, could be predicted with absolute certainty. There may yet be divergent realities but since they have no bearing on my perception I prefer not to think of them.
