there're far more chaotic configurations that contain me than apparently consistent configurations that contain me

There aren't.

You have to look not only at the individual, infinitesimal moments, but the connections between the slices through time. You only exist as a process, and a process only exists along a timelike axis.

Any coherent perspective has an infinite number of ordered levels of implementation below it. Any disordered level has no levels above it.
