I suppose if you didn't have to 'eat or sleep or excrete anything' AND
all 'etc's then I suppose you would not experience change the same as you
do now.
If you are in existence, as opposed to alive, for a billion years or
indeed if the closet remains in existence for that long not to mention
the surrounding structure, I suppose the entire physical basis of
existence would be shifted from how it is.
I suppose what you are is some sort of ghost who is very bored or very
boring.
