Hi John:
One example of what I am saying would be the way we drill holes in
the earth and pump out oil and oxidize it and the resulting energy
flux soon dissipates, can do little more useful work, and radiates
into space. If the oil was left in place it could be many millions
of years before it oxidized.
If a thermodynamic system always finds the fastest path to maximum
entropy then in our universe entities such as we would be inevitable.
My current approach to "existence" results in a fully quantized
mulitverse in which some objects [divisions of my list] are states of
individual universes. The level of a logically unavoidable [no
selection] object interaction parameter is unevenly distributed over
all the objects in the multiverse. This distribution is in a state
of random flux due to logical incompleteness and inconsistency of the
multiverse. I have called this parameter "physical reality". A
high degree [maximum] of this physical reality parameter therefore
"moves" from object to object. The levels of this physical reality
can not logically [no selection] be just binary [maximum:none] but
must logically [no selection] have all possible other
quantifications. The random flux can produce infinitely long
sequences of objects with maximally high degrees of this parameter
that could be interpreted as being successive "now" states of well
behaved evolving universes.
A non binary quantification for this parameter level [as mentioned
above] for such a sequence could "bridge" successive states and
perhaps be the origin of what we call consciousness.
Now that model may be "physical" in a sense but there does not seem
to be a need for a material substrate. The parameter is just a
property of objects that can change while all their other properties
remain fixed. I also think that Bruno's comp model might fit inside
such a multiverse since some of the object sequences could be
associated with the trace of a UD.
