|    Extended anthropic principle.    |
|    12 Jan 26 00:10:09    |
      From: interferon@none.com              I propose that the classical anthropic principle, for which the       presence of *living* observers in a "fine-tuned universe" directly       explaines the universe's suitability for life, as hostile universes could       not produce observers, can be extended to account for many properties of       life.              The quantifiability of the macroscale. For which numerics apply in a       fashion that takes well to biological neural networks, is an intrinsic       property of reality that allows for the development of intellegent life.       This ^ is taken as mathematical skill transcends species boundries (not       learned) and must therefore have a neurological basis.              It is taken, that had realities' intrinsic qualities been more complex       or convoluted, that intellegent life would have been harder to develop.       This ^ is under the assumption that physical constraints remain equal in       this reality. As a result, neurons would have the same physical and       biological constraints and tradeoffs, leading to the same behaviour       above.              It is taken that an early and easy quantificationary ability of early       intellegent species is critical to technological bootstrapping. Which is       the man-made selective pressures insubstantiated by its development of       its own technology (such as fire, or the wheel), which then go-on to       influence its own evolution in a re-enforcive manner.              Others as well. Lot more, too tired.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
