Didn't understand much of that, but to me a different question is: given how things are now could they have turned out differently? I hope that's a different question!

One could ask, without consciousness (as a feedback loop) would the Universe flit into and out of existence without anyone noticing? And to answer, what information and intelligence do for us is to achieve most optimal resolve (iteratively). If we are ignorant and confused waste and attrition takes the best of everything, when we are wise and prudent we conserve and invest potential, creating more potential. Therefore yes; wisdom and prudence capacitates, conserves, and perpetuates potential (of existential being). Let’s call that objective “good”, and “bad” whatever squanders it (“potential”).

  Thanks, that clarifies it immensely. I wonder why it always rains when you have just put the washing out to dry?

I came up with a good physics only consideration. A star going super nova, generating a potential distribution so much finer than the potential of any matter in existential reality that it creates the very matter of existential reality. The moment of explosive action will have a moment such that the very quantum elements are assembled (all by passing chance collision). These distributions and probabilities may be mathematically described and understood as a whole yet cannot account for any level of precision. Exactness is achieved in real time as the potentials cook in the blast (and more than one blast center.) All this going on is one single star, and based on this what matter at which trajectory establish which might end up as planets, etc. Some things cannot be known until other interactions have taken place. The vast occurrence of galaxies of ever varying properties of distribution show how exotic this whole process is. So the Universe is potential, which distributes over the negative spacial void. State is resolved in the moment of now through the constructive and destructive interference of everything around it (fundamental forces, as well as kinetic, etc.) That “interference” is the well known “observation” only that all existence interferes with all other existence through gravity, etc. We may conceptually and technologically unlock the mysteries of these mechanics yet forever remain a subject to their wiles.
