Alternatively, the conscious observer simply interprets the surrounding chaos as ordered in some way. Despite the fact that I will be a pheasant tomorrow and I was a pushme-pullyou yesterday, I always perceive myself as the same continuous being.
Don't people actually do this anyway? It's called "storytelling": the knack for finding meaning in the random series of events that is reality.
This is even crazier! Do you really think you weren't a human being yesterday? If yes, for Cthulhu's sake why?
Why would any random conscious being be formed so as to interpret its particular surrounding chaos as ordered? The theory as proposed establishes no connection between "what an agent interprets as normal" and "what an agent observes at any given instant".
