SOME NOTES REGARDING THE CALCULATING UNIVERSE
"real world" might be calculating".
seemingly innocent systems in fact are part of some invisible (psuedo)
neurological system and are secretly indulging in private dreams and
phantasies.
cabbage then a cabbage must also be an analogy of a rose.
explicitly described in terms of Transformation Rules then any such system
can presumably simulate a Universal Turing Machine (by implication in
general, but specifically it simulates the Turing Machine which is
simulating it!). This is the basis for the original question.
degenerate to an Entropic static (or Homogenous) state.
presumably all calculating the set of values that will result in the
terminal Entropic state.
wrong" and one accepts Murphy's Law which states that "If anything can go
wrong then it will" -then we can assume that all physical systems are
actually calculating how they can fulfill Murphy's Law.
we can console ourselves with the idea that a system which does not change
in time is essentially dead! So our dissident systems are also essentially
calculating their own death.
(i.e. we are prevented from doing any of the things that would have
prevented us from dying) then we can see there is also an element of
paradox in death (i.e. That which should be done (to keep us alive)
cannot be done for some reason).
weather, whether we are asleep or awake it is busy calculating the
Ultimate Paradoxical and Subversive Euthenasia, finally making sure that
at last everything goes wrong!
