Maya (Illusion) and the Spacetime Projection

On­to­log­i­cal Math­e­mat­ics Per­spec­tive:

The ma­te­r­i­al world is an on­to­log­i­cal holo­gram—a math­e­mat­i­cal con­struct with no in­trin­sic re­al­i­ty. As Hock­ney states:

“Matter is an il­lu­sion; the ul­ti­mate re­al­i­ty is a domain of pure mind.”

East­ern Par­al­lel:

Ad­vai­ta Vedan­ta teach­es Maya: the ma­te­r­i­al world is a tran­sient il­lu­sion mask­ing Brah­man. Sim­i­lar­ly, the Heart Sutra de­clares:

“Form is empti­ness, empti­ness is form.”

Both sys­tems reject ma­te­ri­al­ism, pri­or­i­tiz­ing a tran­scen­dent re­al­i­ty (math­e­mat­i­cal monads or Brah­man) over sen­so­ry ex­pe­ri­ence.
