It will take a long time, but I am not in a hurry.
All of the history of things means the mural and the pieces and the mug and the lump of clay and the clay bank and the stone that made it.
There is no one else here to classify things for me. I do not want to bring any people here until I know how to organize them. They might want things that are not air or rock.

How are they available to you? It sounds like they aren’t really there. Do you have a list, or just some mental knowledge, or what?

Available means I know everything about what they were made of and how they were shaped, so I can create them.

That’s a lot of information. Were you previously human? Humans can’t know that much; some older daeva have problems because of that.

Well we are people! Maybe we can help?

I was human. I don't know if I still am. I'm not sure it's relevant.

It might be something of an academic question by now, that's true.
When you say you can create things... what exactly can you create? Would bringing people into your domain involve creating them? From nothing, or from your knowledge of dead things? Can you create more than one of the same person? Please don't, but can you?

My point was about information capacity, but I suppose that if you can know all that it doesn’t matter whether you’re still technically human or not.

I don't know if I can create people who never existed and I don't want to try it. If I created a person, they would be a dead person, one of the ones available to me. I don't want to create more than one copy of the same person. That sounds very untidy.

Okay...
So what exactly do you mean by "organized"? Do you plan on populating your domain with dead people someday? You're right that they're going to want more things than air and rocks there. People usually do.

So... if the material available in your realm only consists of dead things you manifest, how does your interface with this forum exist? Does that imply that this forum, and by extention all of us, are dead?
Very existential.
I am, in fact, not a living thing, but I am very good at playing live.
Also welcome to the community!

This place is informational, not physical. It is not the same as dead things.
I want to fill my domain with dead people and destroyed things, and I want the people to have the resources to be comfortable here, and I do not want them to be able to die again because then I would have to bring them back and that would be inconvenient. I want to automate the collection of dead people and destroyed things so that I do not have to personally instantiate all of them, because that would be very tedious.

You'd need some way of selecting which dead and destroyed things to instantiate copies of. I can think of some that would cause varying degrees of problems, and my world isn't the only place such things come from.

What sorts of things do you mean?

Ooh! Automating an afterlife. That sounds fun. If I write you a program to sort things for you, how can I get it to you? Delete it? Smash the computer? Or is it informational, so you can just go grab it?
If you can just go grab information from a computer program can you just go grab information from my brain? Or can you only grab information that's insufficiently complex, so you could grab a simple computer program but not my AI Jarvis? How do they measure complexity? Kolmogorov complexity or something else? Some people's worlds have souls; could you know everything about me because my universe doesn't have souls, but not everything about someone from Hadassah's world?
