Spoiler answer to life the universe and everything Sports_Gambler Send a noteboard - 01/04/2017 02:24:59 AM

The universe is a self-modeling, self-creating system that pulls itself up by it's own bootstraps. The process of creation isn't finished yet, it's still going on (God is not outside the universe).

Reality is composed of 3 properties that 'bootstrap' each other into existence in a circular loop:

Mathematics (Information) > Matter (Fields) > Mind (Cognition)

(Each of the 3 properties is composed of the other 2, but not entirely reducible to them, in a circular loop).

Snake bites it's own tail, an infinite regress and God is the mind of the univere (pantheism). Mind is in everything to some degree (panpsychism).
