We consciously decide our actions and these decisions are in no way predetermined. We shape the future. Allowing for free will is, therefore, a boundary condition for any theory of our Universe. • The world is an amazing place, but understandable. We can understand the Universe through the application of thought and reason. • There is only one Universe and it appears to make sense. • Humans think creatively, computers do not. • The process of understanding and communication is complex, much more complex than the digital theorems of Claude Shannon and Harry Nyquist. • Understanding is hard. • The communication of understanding is even harder.
