EDIT: commenters below have caused me to think better of my impatient tone below. Please imagine strikethrough through

<strike> In the absence of any replies[*] from you more than 24 hours after you posted the original article, which I think is a little rude and I hope is accounted for by unexpected real-world constraints, I shall resort to further attempts to anticipate and forestall possible replies. </strike>

"I don't know" isn't an acceptable answer either. The question isn't "what will happen in such a Universe", it's "at what point to you balk at the possibility". You balk before the end of "it could be just like our Universe" and after the beginning (which is, say, the game of Life) so you have to be able to identify a balk point somewhere on the scale.

EDIT: would appreciate downvote explanation - thanks! EDIT: [*] to any comments in this thread, not just to my comments - thanks Alicorn for prompting me to clarify
