[quote:*Siberia*:MV8zOTMyMDgyXzcxMDEwMzA3XzRBMTkzRTBF] [quote:Sir Tim:MV8zOTMyMDgyXzcxMDEwMDkxXzcwRkU5RTJC] :5 stars: Nice, highly thought-provoking thread S and hi to you and Yanez. I was thinking about how glitches can be related to the degree of disorder that exists in any given system as a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics; and essentially entropy's arrow of order into chaos. All systems are prone to decay. If we teach a computer to count down a clock from one million years to zero, then we can expect that at some point in-between, the chips will ware, the hard drive tires, leading to skips a 1 or a 0 by accident giving all manor of false readings. We as humans are susceptible too. Indeed, reality itself can be prone to glitches when we imagine the construct of space/time could alter, the speed of light could change given different physics somewhere else in the Universe or even the fundamental laws of mathematics could suddenly decide that 2 + 2 = 5 or 77 = 11 lol. Glitches can also be beneficial though. I was also thinking about how the theory of evolution could be a way for life to learn from its own mistakes, as if life itself is preprogrammed to mend itself by analysing its very own glitches in order to improve upon a flaw in an original design. I suppose a typical glitch could just be defined as being a probabilistic event that can occur at any time really, but to answer what exactly is it? It could be a good glitch or a bad glitch, but of what is its nature? A very good question to ask S. [/quote] I agree with all the points you made, Sir :-) And i have this question in mind: Can a glitch be seen as a stress-reliever of a system ? or is rather the glitch building the stress in the system so that the system can rearrange and improve upon itself after a stress-reliever event ? Also... thank you :-) :hf: [/quote]
Original Message
What are the reasons for with a glitch may occur in the system ?
And...
Can a glitch be of any benefit for the system ?
