The multiverse as a breadth first search algorithm
[ bamboo ] 09:06, Tuesday, 6 November 2007

I had the most fascinating dream last night, very complex and full of details and by its very nature impossible for me to describe it. It was mix of the Tao, The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, Big Bang Theory and Computer Science and if I was to sum it all up it would be something like "the multiverse as a breadth-first search algorithm".

So what would be the optimal universe configuration? Looking from where I stand it's hard to believe it's going to be ours.

I don't believe I'm the first one to think it that way so now I'm googling for references. Drop me a line if you know of any.

Update 1: this seems to be close enough so I'm definitely getting it.

Update 2: I got depth-first and breadth-first mixed up :)

Alain Baidou has some good ontology based around existence being a probe through a field of potentials. Some of the initial premise where he links event to set theory by way of the null set is a little hard to accept at first, but he does a suprisingly good job and once you get past the initial positing most of his work is a very natural read, all couched in strong mathematics. Being and Event is the first book.
