Combinational Affair
There is a line of thought that says that if you can express all the possible combinations of bits corresponding to Reality - Mass Energy - Matter, then you can express all of the Universe and know it all, experience it all, see it all so to say. Like if you can write down all of the possible combinations of 32 billion bits ( 4GB DVD), 2 ^ 32000000000, you can create all the possible movies that can possibly exist, and you can watch them all and see them all, etc. So you don’t have to figure them out, just use brute force and cycle through all the combinations. Same with letters and words, same with all of the elementary particles of the Universe (all of the possible configurations all the elementary particles of the Universe can be in and how those configurations change in a given number of time slots, like 10^1000 time slots (age of the universe ?), etc.) , you get the idea. It is essentially a combinational affair, but reality opposes a combinational barrier to expressing it all, it would be too easy to just use brute force and see it all and get it all.
So just all of the combinations of 1,000 numbers would exceed all of the time of the universe and all of the points in space to express itself so you couldn’t use brute force to see it all. And 1,000 numbers doesn’t even express too much, just a short block of text, or a very vague image, etc. I would assign this as a Law of Physics, as an intrinsical barrier the structure of the universe opposes to our “will power”, to our desires, etc.
But there are two interesting points about this all: one is that the number of experiences our Man Brain can undergo, as it is designed is most probably very much smaller than all the combinations of movies for example, so maybe just a few million “movies” could cover all possible “significant and different and worthwhile” experiences our Man brain can really use. Same with anything else, like blocks of texts, etc.
So there is a mismatch between what we can use and how many potential combinations can be expressed: but it goes without saying that other designs of Man Brains may be able to use all of the combinations, may be able to distinguish as significant and important and different (by comparing it and remembering it to all of the trillions of previous ones it has memorized ?) all of the different combinations and that the real size of the universe (“our” universe, the universe according to us as the “Observer”) is not the number of possible combinations of movies and bits and experiences that can be designed but simply the size of our “Experience Space” as imposed by a very specific and quirky design of our Man Brain, the possible different experiences a Man Brain can live through, so this size is very much smaller than the combinations of bits for a DVD or blocks of text, or elementary particles in the universe, etc.
But even more important, determinism of this universe is really not operating at all: no matter how many combinations you express, it will never really cover all of possible reality, every moment of existence of Mass Energy is a wild guess, the next is truly totally indeterminate, not related in any way with the previous, the laws of physics as the pattern decoding our mind executes is always an illusion, a joke upon itself, the initial conditions of each particle is infinitely precise, so nothing can contain infinity, nay, nothing can contain all the possibilities of reality, not even after the fact is it established, not even the laws of physics know, not even if you know it do you know it, not even if it is history do you know it and is it real, history is a lie, not even god knows it, nothing knows anything, each new path is a one time quirk, a unique new universe and big bang, never to be seen again, never could have been predicted, so unique and one time that it becomes vanishingly small in the combinational space, totally unrelated to anything, etc.
Therefore what will happen tomorrow can never be predicted as there are no laws or patterns or laws of physics, only our wishful thinking…
That which is larger than infinity, and larger still, but not even that, etc. nothing can contain anything.
Hence the combinational game of trying out all of the possible configurations of elementary particles of the universe will never cover reality, just an infinitely small size, since reality is way past any possible combinational game, brute force doesn’t work, it can work only for our mind and our experience, since our mind is a limited decoding of reality, a very small subset, a vanishingly small and insignficant subset, Reality and Mass Energy is way past anything we can decode, hence we can see other signficant combinations only changing the design of our Man Brain, the neural circuits, the organization of new brains, so Stick A Jet Engine in you Brain and enter a New Universe.
