Default Re: OT - bored with gaming ? Get philosophy!

Read "Wizard War" by Hugh Cook if I recall correctly. A green bottle and a red bottle posed a puzzle for a character. The controls for the bottles were rings around their necks. It took him a couple weeks to figure out how to get past a barred grill using the bottle he found on a desk in a library.
I would not care to attempt a rigorous physical description of creation. I think of it metaphorically as linked lists of data structures. Address pointers are information exchange operators. Data values range along a continuum in reference to "physical constants". The "laws of nature" are local rules entirely dependent on the local data structure.

For more food for thought look up *isms words. Then web search with them. Someone really should create a structured English dictionary that gets rid of this reverse Polish notation.....
