“We have a closed circle of consistency here: the laws of physics produce complex systems, and these complex systems lead to consciousness, which then produces mathematics, which can then encode in a succinct and inspiring way the very underlying laws of physics that gave rise to it.”

“What about confusing clutter? Information overload? Doesn't data have to be "boiled down" and "simplified"?

Clutter and confusion are failures of design, not attributes of information.”
