Re: Independent/Dependent Phases

>>From Osher Doctorow mdoctorow@xxxxxxxxxxx

Let's look at the two important accelerations, Inflation and the 5-6
million years ago acceleration, from the viewpoint of what we ourselves
are looking for. If this seems like a "reverse anhropic principle" of
anthropomorphizing the Universe, perhaps we'll lean something from it.

What if the Inflationary acceleration was the Universe's "discovery of
Geometry", while the 5-6 million year ago (or 3.7 or more according to
other versions) was the Universe's "discovery of Causation"?

Remember that Inflation "outran Causation" in at least the Einsteinian
light speed sense, though it is arguable that this sense is only one of
many different meanings or partial meanings. Since the biggest problem
other than
Causation/Noncausation/Independence/Dependence/Random/Nonrandom was
arguably Geometry (since the previous postings of this thread), could
this same order of problem-solving in some less teleological sense have
occurred for the Universe as a Quasi-Life or Partial-Life entity?

If this occurred, then the Universe may have solved the problem
literally by changing from negative Gaussian Curvature to positive
Gaussian Curvature via the ball/sphere in the latter case. Could the
Universe's previous "Acceleration" have actually been an acceleration
into negative Gaussian Curvature? Remember from the Gauss-Bonnet
Theorem or later the Chern-Einstein-Cartan-Gauss-Bonnet Theorem, that
with more negative curvature come arguably more holes or handles.
"Non-causation" or less Causation could arguably be either equivalent
or analogous to more holes.

If the Universe did solve the Causation problem or the problem of
increasing Causation, then it is arguable that everywhere in the
Universe the conditions around 5-6 billion years ago or 3.7+ billion
years ago (+/- a smaller amount) for Life as a more developed Causation
(though more Nonmaterially than Materially, I would guess) were
beginning. Only in the last few million years have human beings and
similar mammals arisen.

So perhaps we can try to take the path from spheres/balls to
acceleration of expansion to Probable Causation to
Independence/Dependence/Random/Nonrandom. If we're lucky, we'll solve
them all. Otherwise, perhaps the Universe will again be ahead of us
with another acceleration into the Unknown.
