Algorithm or Evolution?
The letter PTS - /node/54 “So one can describe the probability even of incomprehensible and unpredictable events, like the distribution of electron density.” “Did we fly out of the ravine, or did the ravine simply end? Or did we merely deviate and will soon return to the channel?” Let us practice living through periods of bifurcation... --- Perhaps you may also find this information interesting: ---------- Professor S. E. Shnoll of Moscow University, investigating the fine structure of correlations in various physical, chemical, and biological systems, noted extremely curious regularities in the behavior of distribution-function patterns obtained for a fixed number of trials. In particular, cyclic recurrence of patterns in time, spatial correlation of physically unrelated processes, and many other surprising phenomena were discovered. --- [Edited by D. Sh.

Macroscopic fluctuations in the model of an algorithmic world ---- And from this point of view there are no probabilities or “miracles” of quantum mechanics. There is determinism, a rigid algorithm, “Destiny,” “Fate.” And one can speak of evolution, as of entropy, only conditionally, from a subjective point of view.
