Yes, you are right, the word "model" is not quite appropriate here. The universe is not a model that satisfies a set of axioms. The kind of rules I am thinking of, is rather that kind of rules you have in Game of Life. When you have a situation at one moment of time and at one place in space, you can compute the situation the next moment of time at the same place by using the situations near this place. The important thing is that the rules uniquely describes the whole universe by applying the rules over and over again. (But I want something more general than GoL-like rules, because the GoL-rules presupposes that you have a space-time from the beginning. I want a set of rules that are such that the space-time is a result of the rules. But I don't know how to get there...) I claim that "our universe" is the result of a finite set of rules. Just as a GoL-universe is the result of a finite set of rules, so is our universe the result of a set of rules. But these rules are more complicated than the GoL-rules... -- Torgny Tholerus --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
