This could be one of two different questions, both of which are evrything-list 101: 1) Why a universe, given a multiverse. A universe is the internal (ie 1p) view of the multiverse. 2) Why a multiverse instead of a universe. The answer is the zero information principle + Occams razor. Multiverses are actually much simpler than universes. I don't see that regressions, infinite or otherwise, have a role to play in either question. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics [email protected] University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
