I didn't know we believed that *grin*.*** ------------- - don’t agree. The question above is one (as well the others) of Wei Dai's 1998 'everything' mailing list. Though the decade passed, the question remains non-trivial and so – actual. If you have read the link http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0703043 , V5 (and the first couple of pages in V1) then it is possible that you note the problem: when fundamental set 'Information' is so 'wild' – then why (and how) in this set can exist some 'stable' sub-sets, e.g. – our Universe, somebody’s consciousness, etc.-? Including – under uninterrupted interactions of a sub-set (as whole and of it’s elements) with total Set the subset’s history is indeed random; but – not totally random; – why? Some answers on the question under the inform concept seem as: (1) the Universe is 'stable' since it’s components (first of all – elementary particles) are some cyclic informational closed loop structures, some analogs of closed loop systems of electronic logical elements that infinitely repeats the cycle, and so are 'all- sufficient'; when larger structures (planet systems, galaxies. etc.) – tend to build also closed loop cycles and so 'to be all-sufficient'. (2) when Universe’s history is a random Markov process, to follow the past we can use known, to some extent, data; when for prognosis such information is much smaller. Etc...
