Now, what this says is that the system is going to tweak the system rule set and initial conditions until it gets something that serves its purpose. Well, it's got to say it all fell apart. Well, we've got to increase gravity a little bit, keep it. together. Well, now it all sucked back into a spot.

Anyway, it does this and eventually it's got all the constants in a rule set working together to do something that works long enough that it can evolve something, an avatar, that makes the kind of choices that have a lot of substance to them. They're meaningful choices. That's where we've come to. That's where we are. So we're these pieces of consciousness.

virtual machines within a larger consciousness system, and this evolution has evolved to the point that there are humans. Before us, there were dogs and cats and monkeys and other things, but they didn't, their choice is what I call decision space. That's all the choices that they know. Like any given time, you may know, oh, I have five choices here.

You might really have 25, but the other 15 you don't know about or the other 20 you don't know about. You just don't understand that those are choices of yours. So those choices that you know about, that defines your decision space. You can do one of five things. Okay, well the other creatures had small decision spaces. So they kept with the evolution and even sometimes tinkered with it.

We have things like this in computer science labs all over the planet and universities where they've taken initial conditions and rule sets and let them evolve because they're trying to come to some kind of understanding. And they always tinker with the results. They get so far along and something isn't what they want so they go in and tweak it a little bit out there.

Well, that explains a lot of things. Now, one thing it explains is the thing called the, let's see, what was that? The anthropic. cosmology principle, cosmological principle. And what that says, and I have a little slide that I can show you where that comes from if you're not sure of that. I just have to tell the guy what number it is. Does Jamie have it here? Is this up on the screen?

This is number seven. Look at the screen?
