How does reality work: iteration and feedback loops in a self referential cycle of patterns. The patterns are important for evolution because what we think of as time is a dependent sequence and so the thing that came before is largely similar to the thing that comes after. And when you iterate that you get these complex patterns. And again with reference to the artificial construct of time it depends on the system because systems iterate at different cycles and they don't follow a fixed pattern. Which proves that predestination or an informational blueprint is not a thing the patterns make themselves known as they emerge they are not a fixed set of rules. This also disproves the idea of a multiverse they are not multiple realities but where it ties in is this idea of of imagination and forecasting. And that very pattern loop plays itself out in our ability to see the patterns that came before and extrapolate them to the future there is no multiverse though. Thus we can see the future with a certain degree of fuzzy ness based on the patterns that came before for example we see how stable certain what we call physical laws are. And so when we measure temperature or um we measure certain things they have a certain robustness or static nature they are not dynamic patterns they are static patterns and that maybe another key thing to to indicate staton static versus dynamic patterns and whether that is in fact a spectrum where static and dynamic can change the degree of say entropy can change over time and patterns morph for example biologic evolution. In some ways it's a static pattern but ever so slightly everything is changing perhaps not rocks but certainly biologic patterns are and maybe even the patterns of particles and I mean have we ever considered that that the particle of yesterday or the particle of the past may not be the same as in the future and this gets into observational relativity where you know the Big Bang exists because we have the instrumentation and the knowledge to see and extrapolate back into the past to back cast as opposed to forecast. And thus really our knowledge of the universe is just that is knowledge it is not practical it is knowledge what can we do with that absolutely nothing. But create new knowledge. Thus perhaps action is local in a universal sense universally everything that we can act upon is limited to our sort of physical distance right? Even the voyager spacecraft while contributing to our knowledge of the universe there is absolutely nothing to change it and so there there we must be clear about this local versus global. Knowledge can be universal but action is localized.
Everything evolves from societies to papal tieras to biological life to the universe itself. One becomes one more, which becomes one more than that which at some point evolves into a certain complexity and it takes on its own "life."
