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 entities? What can not be borne out from the logic of random reality is the determination that all things, including consciousness, are random. Rather, investigation reveals that the synchrony of matter persists even at quantum levels. If synchrony is natural, which it appears to be, then reality is not random, and thus, not a byproduct of conscious interpretation. The fact that the observational experiences of humans must be expressed by metaphor, due to our inability to project conscious experiences into the minds of other humans, further demonstrates that consciousness is seemingly individual. 

Ultimately, there must be some synchrony of events at some level for life to exist, and for particles to coalesce. This underlying tendency toward harmony can be viewed as a steady wave of energy that helps to spur the base push that projects all matter outward, upward, forward...into the expanding universe. If all of the resulting existence that humans know of was orchestrated by the "Big Bang" and the synchrony lies within the mathematical trappings of its frequencies, then one must still ask: what could produce such a random explosion of non-random life?
