“In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt.

We really wouldn't want it any other way.” WayWantLifeImportantPlayMightLife IsCertainOrderUniverseGamesTermDoubtTheorySurvivalSkinsAdversityChaosTeethConclusionCertaintyEvolveUncertaintyOutcomesTensionMaximumGeometryOrder And Chaos Author:George Leonard
