-Just as procedural gens do work like tumblers in a lock, proceeding from one state to the next in the presence of boundaries or rules, regardless of how they were formed or what work they are leveraged to do, by whom, or by nothing at all. If the boundaries exist, and computation is possible, they simply happen. No one is pulling the strings, no one designed them to be this way - no one needs to, and they'll do the work regardless. They're just a function of computation in a universe in which computation is possible. Our universe. That's precisely what makes them valuable to us, they're automatic and their outcomes are predictable, and reliable.
