It's a fair cop, I suppose, but doesn't reality as such seem too ordered?


Order occurs within any random sequence, this should be expected. Humans are just drawn to the patterns and like to ascribe meaning to things.


When you say:

> this should be expected

there is some larger evaluation context implied, which I find interesting.

Repackaged: I don't know how much faith I can place in random sequences.


It seems that way but I think the virtual machine (universe) we run on just has some emergent constraints on possibilities and outcomes and we are just observing them.

But this is not to be confused with some sort of cosmic operating system?


I don’t think there’s a cosmic operating system. It’s more a meta-stable Conway game of life type environment. Either that or I drank too much funky tea once.


No need to argue in circles here, but I can't see how one posits a "meta-stable Conway game of life" while eschewing an "operating system".

Much hinges on definitiona here. And there isn't much need to continue this further here. Cheers!
