Thanks, fren, also for your attention. I'm always glad to find an audience for shyte like this.

As for incompleteness: I have to pass on that one, because I don't know much about it. However, I believe (more in a religious sense) that new physics will come from that direction, that is, from thinking long and hard about the foundations of mathematics, what can be known and when, and so on. I wish I would know more about it, but progress is slow. My guess is that a cosmos exists when its rules are free from visible contradictions. Perhaps a black hole is a concession to Gödel in our cosmos, for hiding the inevitable contradictions.

I can't rule out anything at this point, because physics gets weirder by the day, apparently, and I don't know enough about it. HOWEVER, I believe that you might be closer to interesting truths with CGL and simulation than many mainstream physicist. Not so mainstream: "It from Bit", manyworlds, simulation, etc. "Simulation" is more like a figure of speech here, no simulators required.

And, btw., related to Gödel's incompleteness is Chaitin's insight that even in mathematics, there are truths that are true for no reason. I did not understand that either, but Chaitin can prove that.
