Did you ever read Wolfram’s book? It is very thick but full of pictures. He shows that complexity is nearly unavoidable once there are just a couple lines of code in your generating program. He said the program for the universe might run to five lines of code. Kind of interesting.
I checked Wolfram’s book out and flipped through it.
In case no one has mentioned yet, fractals are like this. A very simple equation, with the output fedback to next imput, results in incredible complexity, ordered complexity.
Now the question still remains, "why is this so?"
I think it was Einstein who said the question he wondered about the way creation worked was "Did God have a choice?"
