So why wouldn't an Ancient Mind do the same thing? Split itself into a billion perspectives and work out harmony between these perspectives as a great puzzle a great game. The origin of life was merely setting up the game board within the Ancient Mind itself.
REP: You are very close to the actual game. But unlike chess the rules are not hardcoded.The rules change.The universe is adaptive.It adapts to what your strength of belief.
Thats something which becomes obvious if start looking at ourselves as ordinary manifestation of laws embedded in nature.In one of the examples I had discussed about the Bird which evolved simple out of desire, no design doucments were shared between them.And then there was the game of Fire which is outside the game rule for most of the species.
The game which we are talking about has a definite purpose.It is a real manifestion of a hypothetical concept.It is like opening another move by extending the chessboard and inventing new pieces and defining new rules for them.
And Some old rules decay.
