Dice, and the probability, i.e. dice thrown by a person. An important flaw in most theories is the observer and how it behaves, as theories only revolve around the focussed thing, and sometimes theorists don’t want real reality confusing their well put theories, or just due to societal and ethical drama and dilemma. But knowing all of it can make one just to lose their will to live, as it provides the eye from a perspective that is universal and neutral to its existence. One must engineer and understand to the scientific depths, all the systems including the self and the surroundings (which often falls into spiritual realms of realization and existence) to truly look for new things. But it seems such form of existence has not yet been reached on this planet. Where one can just achieve magical forms of making things in a small space such as home level. Due to socio-political limitations, power struggles, ego-centric-existence, often blaming poverty, racism, desirabilty, inaccessibility, or just the inability, all in which current reality is unfolding. So view entire Earth as a lab for the laptop that you use, because all the hardware, chips, software, ai , continuously developing involves work from all around the world, and the ripples of past that have affected the current state of existence.

Looking at reality, as it happens on every details from nanospatio-nanotime scales to normal spatio normal time scales, to Giga-spatio-Giga-time scales understanding of crude form can make the mind closer to likeness of state of reality, even if it is not the exact reality itself.

While playing boardgames, in real world, with people. At least here, it often appears that a same person gets assigned the same role many times in a row, despite the randomness, that the events truly don’t look random anymore. Its like the unvierse untangling itself. Being a doctoral student in a probability group, and yet away from all the maths, a trapped something is felt like magic, a magic trick or something of a force of nature or a part of it.

Perhaps its just my imagination, or the mind giving meaning to it then falling down to terms and such perception of on-a-roll. Well, some things seem to bother a bit more. As mind itself plays tricks on itself due to its mysterious existence of consciousness and whatever part of living existing experience lies beyond.

The outcome of dice depends on person rolling the dice, as the movement and energy from hands affects the dice, which rolls in a deterministic manner following ‘actual laws’ of physics (not human known only) leading to a result. However, the outcome of dice then is dependent on person’s state of existence, and person rolling the dice may then infer back the result bestowed down by itself from its ripples of evolvement in time as something magical.

Although, in this world, humans have learned from existing nature and have derived concepts based on their experience and observation, and all known is within human generated information, some which is valued as scientific knowledge, some just another piece of information.

AI is a pattern recognized system on information, and does not truly cater to those patterns of human, but more mechanistic patterns – at the edge of knowing and existence. And there are human minds who see patterns in everyday life without knowing sophisticated knowledge and seem to make correlations. Although here is one fact, given all rules of this world that world follows, whatever is bought into existence and reality is true, of just comes in existence, which itself is a mystery, the mystery of existence of how the world formed. Ofc, one can start off with a prior state, but that is just linking two events in time through rationalizing of known set rules of the world.

By saying everything matters one might try to dig deeper, but it seems like an endless abyss, despite having the reach to known extremes of existence (but there is not enough brain power or feeling to process it all including itself, never ever unless you count the process itself as a simulation, and definitions blurr into reality). Surpass all experience and all existence, would there be something more there.
