Ok good I understood enough to make sense.

Fun!

Thanks for the theory. Let me know how it holds up to review. It's an interesting and probably very productive line of reasoning even if it turns out to have flaws.

Somewhat related: What's your take on the notion that complexity seems to specifically emerge from non-linear dynamical systems composed of ever-simpler basic components? (sort of related to Wolfram's theories, and shout out here to Crick as well) It seems that this specific type of emergence is a fundamental component of almost everything we're able to observe in the universe.
