Hi:

I've printed your comments for a closer look and I'll get back, but this engineering aspect of reality- the universe as a construct, is a foundational concept, even though it makes many physicists shudder.

The same principle which applies to mathematics also applies to the universe at large- order of operations has to be correct. Beyond that, a certain critical dimensional relationship is involved in the structure of the universe, reflected in our own bodies and life at large. Not only do first things have to come first, but structurally things have to be assembled a certain way...or assembly even in an infinity of time is impossible.

In my considered opinion, the idea that random chance alone in a chaotic universe can create anything organizationally significant is a pipe-dream. At any rate, when it comes to such theories, I'm from Missouri!

Regards, Sam Cox

I'll check the other ideas, ponder a bit and let you know. Best Wishes, Sam Cox
