The Constraints of Physical Law

[Neo-Scholastic]

I see two possible conclusions from this theory: a) the world is absurd OR b) the world strives toward desired ends. Option a in self-defeating. If the world is truly absurd, i.e. rational thought and mathematical truths do not consistently and uniformly apply, then the means by which someone comes to the absurdist position are not themselves valid. That doesn’t mean it isn’t true (or rather simultaneously true, false and neither!), simply that no knowledge is possible in such a world. Option b) is also self-defeating. If the world can evolve from infinite possibility to various stable local orders then it does so according to meta-laws that govern how and what kinds of local orders can and do manifest.
