So ... what's the deal here?

This is a blog, or if you may - a source of information for people like myself who are interessted in life from a technical and semi-religious point of view. How you ask? Well, I try to see the world from differents angles, note angles not angle. Wether we like it or not we all live in a universe bound by laws of physics and mathematics ... atleast ... I think we are ... aren't we?

Lets take this approach - God, and by "God" I don't refer to a bearded guy in the sky, Allah or whatever he's called for whatever purpose. God is to me an essence that combines and entagles this world, from the known sphere of the universe that encapsulates time - and space, down to the very smallest particle at a sub-atomic level. God is the constant in the equation that describes all things.

So, God was either a super-sonic genius of epic proportions that created all these laws to hold the world together ... or ... God put some simple rules into motion for every keystone that embodies life, pressed the big red button and ran like hell. In this blog, I tend to lean to the second theory. What we humans are doing is trying to describe the universe with the tool given to us - language. Though our natural language is somewhat crippled and lacks to fundamentals to coup with these problems we of course - smart as we are, create new languages to deal with the situation. Say hello to physics and mathematics!

What we are doing is describing the universe from a top-down, or outside in approach. We don't understand the universe, but we are trying to describe it in ways so that we can understand parts of it.

Lets not forget religion, by its own nature somewhat a language used for spreading "the word of god". Sadly the "speaders" sometimes gets the message mixed up, but lets stay away from that discussion. So instead of trying to describe the work of God, or spread the word of God ... why not backengineer the work of God.

This blog will discuss technics that are used for dooing exactly that, well more or less. How come trees look like they do, are there patterns? Of course there are! How come a flock of birds don't collide with eachother, mathematics can't explain that ... however, three simple rules for every bird can accomplish just what we are looking for.

Say hello to emergent behaivor!
