Do you agree the paper says nothing about how many of all possible universes are capable of producing long chains of emergent complexity?
My intuition is telling me that of all possible universes....very few would be capable of producing long chains of emergent complexity. What does your intuition tell you?
There is possibly an infinite number of possible universes, so you'd have to be more specific what you mean by few.
If all possible universes could produce long chains of emergent complexity the universe would not appear as being fine-tuned to produce emergent complexity. Emergent complexity would then just be an artifact of any coherent universe.
"Few" can be defined as any amount less than the amount needed to give the universe an appearance of not being fine-tuned for emergent complexity.
Do you agree the apparent fine tuning of the universe demands some sort of an explanation?
