Because experiences are excitations of TWE, the latter—by denition—cannot be experienced in its unexcited state. In the absence of excitations, TWE consists purely in the potential for experiences. This is analogous to the ‘vacuum state’ in Quantum Field Theory, or to unexcited ‘branes’ and ‘superstrings’ in M-Theory and Superstring Theory, respectively. So an argument could be made here that, while water without ripples can be empirically observed to exist, unexcited TWE cannot and, thus, may not exist. Nonetheless, even if TWE exists only in excited states, it remains a conceptual error to conate patterns of excitation with that which is excite
