[musings] maybe there's a point at which universes are too complex to model for a nascent intelligence; precludes its evolutionary emergence

Hard to construct universes with patterns where control is cheap enough to make brains, but no cheaply discoverable regularity!

what do you mean by "control is cheap"? stability of patterns once emerged?

To make a computer, you need a strongly constrained dynamically stable system. Cost of control is related to entropy

if you mean entropy/energy gradient I probably agree but that's the "boring" argument :)

although my idea is fragile: hinges on intelligence being a predictor of complexity and that complexity being irreducible

Your question comes down to: can there be a world where modeling dynamics is hard, but controlling the dynamics is much simpler?

information processing. it starts with feedback loops, then state machines, then intelligence. its the whole point

now I understood your previous tweet! one could argue that the reverse is true for our universe
