Churning Out a Universe

Existence is not an attribute of the universe,

for it has no meaning or purpose

outside of a mind in thought,

and has no meaning outside that instant

which we call the ‘present’.

The past does no longer exist,

just its memories,

sometimes making it

to the kept accounts of history,

invariably subject to the pens bias

and human fancy-

to be in turn passed on to the past itself.

And the future,

that is yet to come into existence

is an obscure, perhaps opaque,

function

of an overwhelming multitude

of variables,

each one firmly established

in the present instant.

Some defined and assigned values

only for the one instant,

others living on for longer.

And yet there are those

that seem to exist

since the start of all things

and will probably be

till its end.

Some of these variables seem constant,

unchanging with time,

some now well known,

and then perhaps others

are yet to reveal their presence,

or value.

Then there are the ephemeral -

ever transient,

changing their value at every instant,

at ever varying rates.
.

These are the parameters

to the function

that tirelessly has been doing

the singular task

of churning out

the next state of the universe

from its present state.
.

If this universal function

is invariant,

and continuous,

then it follows,

the values received by the observer,

who exists only

and always in the present,

are our only clues,

to the values of the variables

in the previous instant.

They are a chain of clues

to the state of the universe

at any instant in the past,

and can predict its state

at any time in the future,

by simple extrapolation.
.

These variables and constants,

are the keys to a code,

that obfuscates all

and reveals all.
.

They are accurate messages

being passed down through time,

to whomsoever that may care to read them.

Only the worthy

shall decipher them,

And receive the fruit

of omniscience.

.

The function is probably

like a encrypting stream,

perhaps ever increasing

the time complexity

of decoding the messages.

The constants

are however plain and raw,

and thus our biggest clues

into the past

and the future.

They are transmissions

in the realm of logic,

being sent to us,

from the very start of time,

and will be there till the end of time

if such a thing were to come.

Perhaps if all the transients

depended on the constants,

then we could work them out,

by simple substitution.

Then we would be left

with just the constants.

The implication is immense,

for that will allow us to guess the function itself

and so doing, allow us to know

all states of the universe,

for all times.
.

The problem is no doubt a difficult one,

but who knows-

who knows what limits

the worth

of a mind in motion.

.

This passage is a result of my mindless ponderings on- all and forever

Epilogue

. If we could get past the time complexity of the problem, and deduce such a Universe Function (or just guess it blindly!) , we would then have solved all mysteries of all time, space, matter, logic and everything else!!!
Words of a Novice you say? Well, maybe so, but perhaps of the Noetic kind.
