<p>[01:04:13] So I have in mind differential operators parameterized by some fields, omega, which when composed are not of second order, if these are first order operators, but as zeroth order in some sort of further differential operator saying that whatever those two operators are in composition is in some sense harmonic.

<p>[01:04:41] Is such a program even possible? So if the universe is in fact capable of being the fire that lights itself, is it capable of managing its own flame as well, and closing up? What I'd like to do is to set ourselves an almost impossible task, which is to begin with this little data in a sandbox to use a computer science concept.

<p>[01:05:20] Standard physics is over here. We're going to start with the sandbox and all we're going to put in it is $$X^4$$. And we're going to set ourselves a straight jacketed task of seeing how close we can come to dragging out a model that looks like the natural world that follows this trajectory.

<p>[01:05:56] While it may appear that that is not a particularly smart thing to do, I would like to think that we could agree that it is quite possible. That if that were to be the case, we might say that this is what Einstein meant by a creator, which was his anthropomorphic concept for necessity and elegance and design having no choice in the making of the world.
