Is Information Truly Random?
Is Information Truly Random? J.M. Rogers If the world is simply a random string of events, then why is there tendency, symmetry, or pattern? If the answer is, "the human brain simply interprets the data in patterns," then I must ask, how any two people ever came to a consensus on what exactly a toad is. Furthermore, if one should conjecture that brains are requisitely similar due to evolutionary tendencies, and thus, interpret the random data in similarly non-random ways for survivability, then I must address the non-random nature of consciousness. If indeed I am to believe that physical reality is utterly random, then I must accept that there is only one consciousness, thus omitting the potential for any conscious symmetry that results in non-randomness. So, the question is ultimately one of quantity. How many conscious experiences are actually occurring? Additionally, one can question whether the conscious experience is fractal or a composite of individual ent...
