Perhaps "Navier-Stokes" and "complexity" and such are (ironically) overcomplicating things. Let's try to simplify:
I just walked out of a room with blue walls.
Is there a mathematically consistent universe in which, when I walk back in, the walls will have spontaneously turned red? Yellow? Plaid? (hint: for a universe with a set of physical rules S, is there anything mathematically inconsistent about the set "S union that-room-spontaneously-turns-red-in-2-minutes"?)
If all mathematically consistent universes exist and there is no special probability distribution preferring some over others, what subjective probability should I assign to the expectation that I will see the same shade of blue walls?
In the real world, what subjective probability should I assign?
If the previous two answers are different (for example, if the first probability is epsilon and the second is one minus epsilon...), why is that so?
Another month has passed and here is a new rationality quotes thread. The usual rules are:
