tetrahedron Posted December 26, 2018 Report Posted December 26, 2018 SFAIK it has been observed that order can arise spontaneously within chaos. Pure chaos will not stand. Imagine a universe where NOTHING is defined, including interactions between whatever counts as 'entities' or monads. Since there is no defined scale in space or time you can't exactly call such things particles, yet. A well-defined universe will bootstrap itself out of chaos- not necessarily over all of it, however. More like a bubble or an island, metaphorically. Some sort of exchange between such domains will have to come out to maintain their relative independence (figure/ground distinction). The particular properties which make it more or less likely for definitiion survival can compete or cooperate, and so evolve. You start to get compartmentalization and property flows. Umpteen iterations later here we are, scratching our collective heads over it all. Jess Tauber Quote
