This touches on something I find fascinating: that in the pure world of perfect maths there's a lot of near misses, things that nearly work out but don't quite, but that if we have a world where a bit of error is allowed (our bendy molecular world, with our limited consciousness) then an enormous host of possibilities opens up. My personal theory is that this is exactly why we find ourselves in a reality that is slightly fuzzy with an awareness that's alright but not perfect.
