The universe is a life-like process because of its ability to remember and record memories, leading to more sophisticated processes of memory-building.
04:49 - 11:56 (07:06)
Summary
The universe is a life-like process because of its ability to remember and record memories, leading to more sophisticated processes of memory-building. This allows for the creation of physical objects with features that have memory bonds, as opposed to entropy-driven destruction.
