Hello, I just joined here and I am excited to explore the world of knowledge of everything and nothing, I am 22 years old and a computer science graduate and I recently had a "psychotic episode" where I realised that everything is a computation driven by some kind of force called mathematical inevitability, and all feeling was a fine tuning into the structure and forces of nature (evolutionary pressure against pain and for sweet foods), I saw that the universe could be explained as the instantiation of a fractal and I also thought my own awareness was the final result and I WAS mathematics, I am on medication now and I am trying to get the sense of magic back by study. I do not want to bother you and will not post any more, I have much reading ahead of me and just wanted to share my own experience.
Thanks for sharing. You are welcome. Logic is full of magic, and computer science doubly so. I may add later some comments on your "psychotic episode", and why do we have to shake the brain a bit for getting some type of intuitions. We are a bit programmed for not "reading the end of the novel", I think, a bit like the fishes were not supposed to explore the lands. Perturbation occurred.
Here is the deepest zoom (15 minutes!) on the (rational) Mandelbrot set, which I think is a compact version of the universal dovetailing.
