Does this relate to Plato and the world of forms?

I'm thinking of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. From Wikipedia: "Plato imagines a group of people who have lived chained in a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of the cave entrance, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows. According to Plato, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to seeing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not constitutive of reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners. The Allegory is related to Plato's Theory of Forms, wherein Plato asserts that "Forms" (or "Ideas"), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality. Only knowledge of the Forms constitutes real knowledge."

I'm thinking in terms of the holographic principle relating mathematics and physics of higher (world of forms) and lower dimensions.

Birth of cosmos is only an idea. Universe is eternal, a system in a dynamic equilibrium, no birth, no dead.

I came upon this site by searching for "Plato" and "holographic universe." Just as the other person who commented, I also recognize the forms and the idea of a holographic universe as being compatible. Plato was perhaps the greatest thinker the world has ever known, and I find it very interesting that his forms matches with the idea of a holographic universe.

Imagine I am an undefined quantum particle. How do I exist without an identity? I can join with others to be a wave, until an option presents itself for me to be something else. Liken me to the letter g I am nothing on my own until an opportunity presents itself to make me into a word or an equation or the print on this page, until that opportunity presents itself I exist in all my possible states. Think of a hologram. Wherever I am within that hologram I am in several states and places at the same depending on the driection from which I am observed. I can therefore be: any particle you want me to be, any letter in any word and/or contribute to the existence of any reality depending on the location you are observing me from which may be within or outside of the hologram.
