Universe - the totality of all space, time, matter, energy, and the physical laws and constants that govern their interactions. This includes all observable and unobservable phenomena, extending from subatomic particles to the largest cosmological structures, and encompasses the entire continuum of space-time as understood in modern physics.

Within Afterlife Theory, the term universe is redefined as a relative field of awareness centered on the individual observer. Rather than an absolute, external totality, the universe is understood as the surrounding environment of a given consciousness at a particular moment of existence. In this model, the term universe is not the entire cosmos but rather the surrounding space of an individual. In the theory, the term universe is the interchangeable with the term reality. Thus, each conscious entity operates within its own dynamically bounded universe, determined by its perceptual and informational capacity.
Universe is an important concept within Afterlife Theory. For the mathematics of Afterlife Theory to hold, everything must be considered realitive to the individual. It matters not what happens on distant planets. What matters is what happens in the personal envirionment. Thus, unbounded space is understood to be the unbounded X, Y, Z space relative to the center consciousness, much like the three-dimensional environment within 3D modeling software like blender. To the theroy, the immediate surrounding space is objective - to the individual. What happens outside that space, is subjective. Conscisely, the unverse is everything within a person's 3D space.
• The traditional definition treats the universe as objective and universal - a single, all-encompassing reality independent of observers.
• Afterlife Theory treats the universe as subjective and relative - a 3D space that exists in relation to consciousness rather than apart from it.
