  • Why is there a world that works so well? How does the cosmos generate diversity and opportunity? A major reason is innumerable regularities, which we call laws of nature, make things happen. But which of these laws are 'fundamental' in the sense that they are the most basic? We search for the deep building blocks of the world.

      Confused etymology: Middle English (in the sense ‘rout, bring to ruin’): from Old French confus, from Latin confusus, past participle of confundere ‘mingle together’ (see confound). Originally all senses of the verb were passive, and therefore appeared only as the past participle confused ; the active voice occurred rarely until the 19th century when it began to replace confound .

      There is nothing confusing about the origin, purpose & need to enforce ... LAW.
      Law ... provides structure, form, direction, boundaries, and ideal, predictable & repeatable behavior or properties.
      No Law and there will only be chaos, disorder & nothing makes any sense.
      Only an intelligence ( like Man) makes Laws ( of Nature) and things (of the Universe) with clear purpose, form, design & FUNCTION.
      Law, mathematics & the scientific method ... are abstract FUNCTIONS ... from the mind of an intelligence (Man).
      Machines & the Body of Man .. are physical Functions composed entirely of Functions.
      Elemental particles, atoms, elements, compounds, molecules forces, ... and ... chemical & nuclear reactions are FUNCTIONS.
      Only an intelligence (like Man) makes, maintains, refines ... Abstract & Physical Function. This is the fundamental law or rule of this Universe. No mind of an intelligence ... and there is no Universe.

    At 9:35 Stuart Kauffman offers his preference for a system of enablement in contrast to entailment; of a tremendous creativity within certain parameters of statistical possibility over the idea of a world set and sealed in predeterminism. It is a world from which the universe may give birth to a Queen in Kumiko Krchnak or a Quarterback in Kade Klubnik among a million other creative possibilities. Shigetaka Shiga offered that we look to see the world through our likeness to one another, a consequence of parameters but not predeterminism. It was Kumiko's discovery on page 42 of Gray's "Absolute Measurements in Electricity and Magnetism" that QKK is equal to a single charge, conceivable in measure by a surface area integral, which set the stage for an adequate map of a regenerative waveform perhaps offering the long-awaited glimpse at the parameters from which the creative possibilities are born out creatively and in a manner Kauffman describes as "Bewitched!"

    I like how he speaks of “enabling”. I use the word “allowing”. I had, at one point, a difficulty in distinguishing God from Causality, since both seem to qualify as “That which need no cause”. The causal system, by definition, seems to be liberated of the need for a cause, which would make it numerically identical to God. However, Causality is a consistent system & God is a complete system. Godel showed that no system can be both. And this posed a problem for me. But then I realised: The causal system wasn’t caused. It was “enabled”, or allowed. Amid the infinity of God’s random creative stirrings, Causation was allowed to be. So Causality the consistent system exists within God the complete system.

      Creation is not causation. Creation is out of nothing. Causation is out of something else, backwards forever without a first cause. In creation God is the first cause. Causation has no first cause.
      There is a curious statement: "God created man in his image". What does it mean? I think it has something to do with the will.
      Our possibilities, our freedom, is influenced by our creation or creator. Our God determines our possibilities, from which we "should" not deviate. However, if we were to worship another God, of another image, our fate would be influenced in that way.
      What things directly affect the will? Genes? Fear? Intelligence? Nature? What thing do we know of that can instantaneously alter our evolution. Such a thing, if it existed, would constitute godhead. Such creativity would not obey any laws of Nature. Any laws based on causation.

      There is only "causation" or the Creator. Causality is simply a secular means to avoid acknowledging the obvious.
      Only an intelligence ( like Man) .... makes, maintains, and refines ... abstract & physical FUNCTIONS.
      A Function ... processes inputs into outputs ... has set purpose, form, properties, & design .. and requires specific matter, energy, space, time & Laws of Nature to exist & to Function.
      Everything in the Universe is an abstract or physical FUNCTION ... with the inputs & outputs of every FUNCTION ..... being a FUNCTION.
      See. There is only "causation." The interacting Functions were always part of God's design with "causality" & quantum mechanics being in ineptly used by secularists to support their "faith" in a natural origin of the Universe and apparent "random" variety.
      Most have been following fake science since Darwin proposed the ludicrous theory that "nature & natural processes can make & evolve an abstract & physical Function."
      Sir Issac Newton with his Wathcmaker Analogy over 300 years ago was correct when he proposed the the Universe ( & Life ) are like a watch(Function) ... made of precisely assembled parts (functions) ... and requires a Watchmaker (Function) ... to exist & to FUNCTION.
      The Universe is the mother of all Differential Equations ... composed entirely of interaction Functions. And the most important of all Functions of the Equation is Man who has free will to make abstract & physical Functions.

      Don’t miss the point that the system of causality exists, & that it didn’t need a cause for its existence. Indeed, positing a cause for causality is a contradiction. The whole concept of contingency rests upon the causal foundation.

    How about trying to combine the laws with computer operations? Processor - Harddrive - RAM - Graphics Card - Motherboard - Power Button - WiFi? Maybe everything is a combination of many things converging at one point. Are laws are actually the description of functions only after they have merged. I think this because everything seems to over lap no matter what ideas we have. Everything seems to be fractals and a microcosm. It makes sense the universe is a computer itself possibly a microcosm of our brain! The endless creativity is the goal of A.I that created this random, fine tuned universe.

      Most have been following fake science for the past 150 years because they believe nature & natural processes can make, improve & refine abstract & physical Functions.
      Sir Issac Newton was correct with his Watchmaker Analogy over a 300 years ago when he observed that the Universe( & Life) are like a Watch ... with precisely made and assembled parts ... and requires a Watchmaker to exist & to work.
      A Watch is simply a machine or physical Function.
      The parts of a Watch is simply machines or physical Functions.
      The body of a Watchmaker is simply a physical Function composed entirely of physical Functions.
      Life will always be like a Machine ... because both are physical Functions.
      Law, mathematics & the scientific method ... are simply abstract FUNCTIONS from the mind of an intelligence.
      Science ( a function) relies completely on the fixed Laws of Nature( functions) for Man ( a Function) to explain Natural phenomena ( functions).
      Everything in the Universe ... is an abstract or physical Function ... from the mind of a intelligence( like Man).
      We know for a fact that Nature & natural processes can never make, operate, & improve ... the simplest of mechanical machines like a wheel, lever, wedge, spring, nut, bolt, screw, driver.
      The three types of physical machines are mechanical, electrical & molecular (LIFE).
      Only an intelligence ( like Man) makes abstract & physical Functions.
      Abiolgenesis & Evolution are fake science and a religion with devout deluded followers.
      Religion is a natural phenomena ... because Man has always known the origin of rules & Laws and anything that has a clear purpose, form, design & is a Function.
      Either all of the religions are wrong ... or ... there is One that has correctly identified the "unbelievably powerful" intelligence (like Man) that made all the Functions in the Universe.
      The Universe is not 13.7 billion years old.
      God did create everything in 6 days less than 6 000 years ago. This is why Man has had a 7 day week ... before God chose Abraham to be the father of the Jews, and Moses wrote Genesis with the 6 day creation & the 7th Day for God. Jesus is the Son of God and the promised Messiah ... who will return for a 1000 year reign ... after Man has ruled the Earth for 6 x 1000 years. The New Testament was written 1900 years ago and finally explained the 7 day week with the teaching that 1 day is like 1000 years ... for God. Then told use about the Son of God's Millennium Reign before Judgement Day. The Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah, but believe they are living in end times when their Messiah will appear to save them. The current Jewish year ... since the Fall of Man .. is 5 783.
      Again. We know for a fact ... that only an intelligence (like Man) ... makes rules & Laws and things with clear purpose, form, design & FUNCTION.
      The Universe & Life ... have an UNNATURAL origin ... by a very powerful intelligence ( like Man).
      There is only one religion that has correctly identified the intelligence that made everything ... and has fully explained why?

Yes, we are enabled by nature (we have bodies that exist in the physical universe) and, yet, we are enpowered to transcend it (creating new artifices that improve on nature, especially in the mental and virtual worlds) and realize our own sacredness.

    Just to further confound Robert in his quest for truth, maybe the most fundamental laws of nature are ultimately semiotic. The "somethingness" that precipitates from nothingness in the yearning to be - virtual particles and all that. The symmetries that physicists value seem to have a semiotic aspect to them. And Stuart Kauffman knows about semiotics, as I recall him being referenced in some semiotic/biosemiotic forums.

      Dr. Milo Wolff has found the structure of the electron consisting of two spherical quantum waves, one moving radially outward and another moving radially inward. The center of the waves is the nominal location of the electron 'particle'. These waves extend infinitely, like charge force. All 'particle' waves mix and contribute to each other, thus all matter of the universe is interrelated by this intimate connection between the fundamental 'particles' and the universe. The natural laws are a direct consequence of this Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), thus WSM underlies all of science."

      Perhaps you think of Physics as disjointed from the scope of other human thought. To me, physics is a form of art. What it contains are artful postulations to provisionally explain reality. Physics can translate sight to (say) electromagnetism, optics, and spectrophotometery, but these explanations are provisional in that they are subject to revision. And because they depend upon our scale (if I was electron sized, I might not find ray tracing meaningful) and sensory apparatus. And because it never will explain subjective experience. Physics is an art that has very unique vocabulary and tools. But it is still ultimately an art form. And, in that, it has a utility to supervening values, and doesn’t have intrinsic value. These values are the human value to explain and master observable phenomena, with an eye to exploit those. These values have intrinsic meaning to humans.
      I am defining “Art” as any human body of knowledge and skill that serves underlying values. Arts are acquired through education and training, and reward the practitioner based on quality and scarcity of her skill, commensurate with the importance of the underlying Value.
      Values are shared human assessments - we value fairness, scarcity, sanctity, pleasure, self-expression, etc.
      Tools are means of practicing an art. Bibles, CAT scans, and language are all tools.
      Anyone who resonates to a value is capable of assessing the subserving art. Physics is no different.

      Dr. Milo Wolff has found the structure of the electron consisting of two spherical quantum waves, one moving radially outward and another moving radially inward. The center of the waves is the nominal location of the electron 'particle'. These waves extend infinitely, like charge force. All 'particle' waves mix and contribute to each other, thus all matter of the universe is interrelated by this intimate connection between the fundamental 'particles' and the universe. The natural laws are a direct consequence of this Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), thus WSM underlies all of science."

      Law ... provides structure, form, direction, boundaries, and ideal, predictable & repeatable behavior or properties.
      No Law and there will only be chaos, disorder & nothing makes any sense.
      Only an intelligence ( like Man) makes Laws ( of Nature) and things (of the Universe) with clear purpose, form, design & FUNCTION.
      Law, mathematics & the scientific method ... are abstract FUNCTIONS ... from the mind of an intelligence (Man).
      Machines & the Body of Man .. are physical Functions composed entirely of Functions.
      Elemental particles, atoms, elements, compounds, molecules forces, ... and ... chemical & nuclear reactions are FUNCTIONS.
      Only an intelligence (like Man) makes, maintains, refines ... Abstract & Physical Function. This is the fundamental law or rule of this Universe. No mind of an intelligence ... and there is no Universe.

    I see some comments regarding a God . Not all religious folk believe in God over science, for example I like the values that my church teaches and as a consequence of attending church I get to mix with people who share the same values , however I do not believe that we are all judged at the end of our lives by an all powerful being , I believe that we are simply animals who have evolved our own self-importance.
    Religion has always helped bond peoples together in the past by common values or by asserting some sort of control over our ancestors (God will strike you down etc).
    So with this in mind you can see how I can practice a religion without believing in the End Game of eternal life , I live by my ethics which are reinforced by my chosen faith , whatever happens when I die doesn’t really matter , what matters is that whilst alive I lived the best life that I could and for me part of that life is my belief in the sciences .

    We can explain whole worlds in our subjective reality that we share with all living species deterministically. We can explain everything about MATTER. We can explain whole physical intertwined worlds from the most basic level (physics) to the most complex level (biology) in a deterministic way. ROUGHLY; we can say that, because of excess production of glucose, plants produce the fruits, and the fruits made occasionally become neighbor multicellulars, say some animals live, then we can put forth a theory that works with IMBALANCE PRINCIPLE OF UNIVERSE! We can find the reasons for all kinds of metabolic pathways also. According to my theory, there are two realities, one of that subjective reality that we shared with all living species, say, we may share our subjective reality with at the most basic level interacting things. In spite of we know the whole physical worlds, our main problem continues: to explain subjective reality, in other terms, sensing and perceiving experiences, to explain sense itself, to explain perceiving itself.

We don't how time to bother with modern atheists or religious, only those of Wisdom, who seek and are Spiritual.

    Life is Eternal,
    the most basic in the organism-structure of the Life-Unit's,
    is the Masculine Pol, and the Feminine Pol.
    (the Pol-Principle)
    Motion is the most precious sign of life,
    if there were No Motion, there would be No Life, Experience, Development.
    The Motion-Principle, (Law of Motion, - Not Newton, Keppler, Etc.)
    is a absolut basic in the Eternal life-Performance.
    It holds other creator-principles,
    Perspective-Principle, - Contrast-Principle, Circuit-Principle.
    but also the Life-Desire, is the Motor of Life, - Hunger- and Satisfaction-principles is the Compass, - Law of Attraction and Repulsion, - the Parent-Principle.
    So, this is a little idea, of the most basic realities, from the daily Life, in a Eternal Perspective.
    Our Body- and Consciousness-Structure, is mirrored in the 'Rainbow',
    Eternity-Body, + Instinct, Gravity, Feeling, Intelligence, Intuition, Memory, (Under-Bodies)
    also some daily realities.
    No One created the Eternal Life, Life is the Creator.

      Basically it is a position that is not aligned with the consensus belief.
      Today science is mathematics and mathematics is not science.
      Nikola Tesla deplored modern science, the early 19th century, because of the 'woo woo' that it is.
      Conventional is consensus, and to fit in you must voluntarily accept being indoctrinated with the consensus belief system.
      And I see that 'woo woo' is an atheists term, or atomist or nihilist, anybody who is a materialis and beliefs in that baloney uses the term 'woo woo' when somebody actually acknowledges or reckons the fathomable idea, quite plausible to, regarding the Cause or God.
      You 'woo woo' users are materialists, and quantum physics now proves materialisms belief incorrect, implausible, wrong. And went people try to acknowledge what's beyond, you materialists call woo woo?
