Start with the observation

The universe can be read. Its patterns can be expressed in mathematics, tested in laboratories and relied upon by bodies that never learned the equations.

Follow the reasoning

  1. Meaning is not added only by the observer; the world must first possess stable relations that can be discovered.
  2. An explanation must account for the whole relation, not merely name one piece inside it.
  3. The more coordinated the text, the less satisfying it is to call every letter its own author.

Read plainly

Calling the universe readable does not settle every question, but it makes pure ownerlessness a claim that also requires explanation.

Choose an object near you and list how many distant systems had to cooperate for it to be present now.
