From the last few posts, including the post indicating that folded
plane sheets appear to be directly related to PI (Probable Causation/
Influence), we may conjecture:

1) CONJECTURE: The Universe is an analog of a Magic Slate with Erasing
and Writing in LISP and possibly PROLOG using Probable Causation/
Influence as the "Decision" language.

The reasons for (1) are:

2) LISP, like PI, has operations related to ERASE and WRITE (or ADD or
the opposite of ERASE).
3) Prolog, like PI, is based on Logical operations.
4) This thread argues "convincingly" that PI describes the Universe at
a basic level.

A "Magic Slate" is a 2-page writing pad with the top or front page a
thin sheet of transparent plastic, and the bottom page a thick board
that is waxen. When you write on the top, it makes dark indentations
on the bottom, and when you lift the top sheet away from the bottom,
the dark indentations or traces disappear. It was commonly used in
the 1960s and 1970s as a sort of portable blackboard or whiteboard for
children, and there was also a "Scoobie Doo" version.

Sigmund Freud had one in the 1920s, and considered some aspects of it
as representing the model of the human psyche.
