It snaps. Okay, but- We'll be poetic today. But no, I think there's like a lot of random exploration. And then there's like, and then the structure, the possibility space just collapses on the structure kind of really fast. that can reinforce its own existence because it's basically fighting against non-existence.

So there was this website. I forgot what it was. But it's like a neural network that just generates a human face. And it's like this person does not exist. I think that's what it's called, right? So you can just click on that all day. And you can look at people all day that don't exist. All of those people exist in that space of things that don't exist.

Yeah, so the struggle of the quote, the struggle for existence is, you know, that goes all the way back to Darwin's writing about natural selection, right? So like the whole idea of survival of the fittest is everything struggling to exist, this predator-prey dynamic. And the fittest survive. And so the struggle for existence is really what selection is all about. And that's true.

We do see things that do exist competing to continue to exist. But each time that, like, if you think about this space of possibilities and the You know, each time the universe, you know, generates a new structure or like an object that exists generates a new structure along this causal chain. It's generating something that exists that never existed before.
