Harding Cats and the Free Will Inflation
Lee: I love this essay because it explained to me how I can live in the deterministic universe, but have freedom. And also it helped me explain that time needed to be a real thing in this universe. So what basically Dan was saying here is like, how do you... How do these cats appear to just do what they want? Right? It's just all obvious. And how does free will inflate the universe? Lee: My interpretation of the essay in assembly theory makes complete sense. Because you need an expanding universe in assembly theory to create novelty that you search for.
