No game renders every leaf in the forest

Nonduality sounds like mysticism until physics says the same thing in a lab coat. We tend to assume the world is already finished — fully rendered, waiting out there for us to walk into it. But the closer we look, the more it behaves like a system that only builds what is being observed, and consciousness stops looking like a passenger inside reality and starts looking like the place reality resolves. If the universe crystallizes at the point of attention, then attention is not something we aim outward; it is the seam where the whole thing becomes itself. Oneness stops being a feeling and becomes a mechanic. Sit with that the next time you turn your head and quietly assume the room behind you stayed.
