Non-existence can't exist — Derrick Huesits
Nothing can escape from being something, even nothing. The absence of attributes is an attribute. — RAW
Regular computer programming covering all eventualities probably can’t calculate the universe, as it’s too linear and too slow. — PoeticUniverse
This does seem to be a problem with computers, they are linear. I noticed in math there is a curious way to bypass the linear using imaginary numbers, or i. — Derrick Huestis
Would the Existence be composed of bits, given that mass/energy seems to have been shown to be equivalent to information? — PoeticUniverse
Bits boil everything down to black and white, they don't allow grey area. — Derrick Huestis
multiple possibilities — Derrick Huestis
The grey area for quantum computer qu-bits is that they can be 0 and 1 at the same time. — PoeticUniverse
if it is deliberate the question becomes "how? — Derrick Huestis
you mistake the non-existence of something — Nikita
by no cat, I mean the non-existence of a cat, an empty place — Nikita
The strong part of the OP is that The Eternal Existence is necessity, with no option not to be, given the impossibility of ‘nonexistence’. — PoeticUniverse
I also think there is a strong argument to be made for this existence having a creative component, which gets us closer to the standard idea for God. — Derrick Huestis
It's also that the plans for our universe are already in The Existence, among everything possible, and they get to life and consciousness, which is pretty far, and so perhaps that wins out, somehow. — PoeticUniverse
It was so still you could hear a nut fall,
And the musical strain of mystic call,
In soft tones flowered upon the silence,
As floating on the surface of the — PoeticUniverse
There is the particle and there is the wave—either one forced on us by our observations, being jointly known as the ‘wavicle’, all three states of which are truly not the actual reality.” — PoeticUniverse
the particle is a pop-view. — Rstotalloss
Better yet; since The Existence is completely self contained, with no beginning and no end, as not affected by anything outside itself, it would just BE, and so it IS, not just having the plans for the universe, but already having the universe. The darn Block Universe keeps trying to reinstate itself. — PoeticUniverse
Quantum entanglement suggests that each particle has the entire map of the universe, the information ever updated, the universe being as a single entity. While this may not be consciousness at the level we have, it may help the universe accomplish something of the movements of particles and fields in their energy, mass, and momentum, in some global way that goes forward overall. — PoeticUniverse
How can an eternally infinite wonder exist on its own? It can't. — Rstotalloss
By being really short, the only is existent of us beyond our frame is our conscience, as a token share of the overall conscience.
