Warning: Wild philosophizing ahead.
Take all this with a mountain of salt.
You have been warned.

• The fractal braided river of fate
• Inverse quantum isolation chamber

• The source of new axiomatic wisdom
• Big bang as spontaneous demixing event
• Simulation hypothesis
• The "something" currently containing:
  The chance for an alternate retry
  The accessibility of perception thread
• The program that constructs and executes all possible programs which is A true but useless theory of everything.
  And here is the actual code: The program of all programs (code)
  Systematic listing of all possible programs
• Continuity of perception
• The limits and guesses in math
• Pseudo random number generators: How they hide most of reality from us.
  Related: cognitive bias, pattern recognition snapping to what we want to see, emergence of meaning (and beauty) trough (design) restrictions
• Randomness as a relative property -- Relativity of complexity
• More than one past for the present

• Foundations of mathematics

• On the commonness of earth like life in the multiverse

• The purpose of dreams – (Lucid dreaming)
• Emergent concept detection

• A failure mode for concept pattern matching

• Activation energy as a loose analog to evolutionary obstacles

(wiki-TODO: add woven asymmetric tree illustration)

Misc

• side-effect free (aka pure) functions as prerequisite of reversible computation as prerequisite for quantum computation as (one) basis of physics

• "no true randomness" perspective or equivalently
• "everything is a PRNG" perspective (potentially non-local) or equivalently
• "all perceived randomness as just the lack of knowledge of how a complex situation came to be" perspective
• physics: giant quantum random unknown origin gap

• math/coding: very simple code can create very complex patterns (decompression/corecursion)
  (algorithm for irrational numbers like sqrt(2), game of life, penrose tiles, fractals and chaotic systems, ...)
• physics: very complex patterns can be reverse engineered to very simple (declarative timeless) code (that generated these patterns)
  (Declarative timeless "code" like: Maxwell equations, Dirac equation, general relativity, ...)

• looking deeper and deeper: maybe never-ending exceptions to the simple physical rules
• looking to deep it seems to get complex again (particle zoo)

• (the analogy between computational concurrency graphs and the light cone of special relativity)
• how local crop-out of the code execution dependency graph that aren't big enough to cut through the most compressed locations
  turn very stateful and TRNG like in character.
• fractal character of code execution dependency graph?

• identification of cosmic spacetime horizons with most effectively compressed data funnel-throuh points of the (in effect equivalent) codes generating the universe
• on the "impossibility" of bridging/crossing some high compression funnel gaps (e.g. quantum random gap) in the scope of the limits of existence of some observing entity
• gravity as entropic force, and even other forces back-traceable to purely entropic origins (all a matter of viewpoint?) relation to dissipation sharing and backshootup.

• whats spanning the gap between math and physics
• math and physics -- arguments why one is more fundamental than the other and vice versa
