So let’s talk about soulless theories and stories. I propose that we ask what they do and in an unlikely scenario.
Let’s outline a carpool on Uber with an information evolutionist. Having such a journey must feel like when you meet Gandalf. And as we know, this “Gandalf” will surely be on the list of the 50 people who will change the world (Wired, 2020).
A magician who asks us about the variation of the forms that life has: thinking that with what it does is to strengthen the genes (Chen & Lin, 2013); a mechanism that is the last weapon of living beings, which facilitates the evolution of complex dynamic systems, a connection between everything alive. From our actions to behavior patterns, something as simple as a virus inside the body to something as big as a club to the head.
Gandalf also tells us that there is no factorization of the modern world. He permeates our adventure with the idea of an adaptive universe. The mathematical foundation of it — something like his “Maxwell equations” — is all there is to know to define that complexity. There is only the violation of entropy within complexity, highlighted due to the physics or chemistry frameworks…
