if the instructions of reality are patterns, then what is apparent randomness. is there an interpretable pattern of life and death, an order to our individual existence like DNA, chemistry and galaxy formation. are there universal signs, or simply our conscious interpretation of pattern recognition that we can decipher to indicate the dependent sequence of reality as it plays out? Bayesian logic/statistics would seem to suggest so. It's very much relevant our intrinsic nature versus lived reality (predestination versus perception of free will). Are my thoughts my destiny (rather, do thoughts converge on destined outcomes)? Is reality destiny or perception?
