Ecology

gollark: Okay, no, I misunderstood superdeterminism I think.
gollark: I don't think a deterministic universe is technically ruled out by anything, but from my limited understanding of Bell's theorem a deterministic computable one which doesn't need FTL information transfer internally has been.
gollark: Also, detail I remember somewhere, I think one post said it's a "nondeterministic mathematical operation" (or involves one)?
gollark: It seems odd to build plot devices in at really fundamental levels.
gollark: Yes, it *would* be somewhat worrying if every person definitionally had goals shifted slightly over time by something random/ineffable.
