[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!

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
