Judith,
I wanted to ask something similar from Jack, but
you did it faster and more practically - however less generally than I wanted
to.
I simply wanted to ask Jack: what 'level' of
initial conditions are relevant in his opinion within the ever changing world -
from its
ultimate initial condition (leading to a so
called Big Bang) up to
the last pre-phase of the observed model? Is the
'branch' one, or the initiation of the branch, or ....so on and on?
We are so deeply anchored in the reductionistic
model-worldview that we fall into phenomenology of late, identifying nth level
causes as initiation. Which is practical.
Just do not think 'really deep' into what a
'change' may be (also: result of others, initiation of further, response to
other, etc. etc.) because it may interfere with normalcy just like thinking in
terms of solipsism...
I feel still excited for the QP idea, although
it seems it is a cute and newer setup for advanced model-work (as all
computer-science is)
for advanced minds who know how to step up
from the MAP into the TERRITORY...
It is close to your example starting with a
given plant life and an existing atmosphere to observe the change of both -
interactively.
Which was a good example anyway.
