Fair point, Sci. Is water going to occasionaly flow uphill?
I don't think so, because that would break other laws. I suppose the marco-level wiring of neurons might preclude absurd worlds, merely allowing for the thought of such bizarre activity to enter the mind but not actually altering the wiring of the brain.
I suppose once we get to a world that has concert halls, the state of the brain makes conception of such absurdity possible without actually allowing for such actions?
Why? The oddness only occurs when we try to place our own frame-of-reference on the subject, just as what happened with Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Old World, the Solar System, the Milky Way, etc. We have a tendency to sell reality short so that it fits into our realm of relative comfort. History has continuously shown us that this isn't true, and if anything, the nature of reality is far broader than we natively anticipate. It's always bigger, more complicated, and more humbling.
Well, to be clear I'm not 100% sure these absurd worlds have to exist. I'd assume evolution might rule out some of this kind of thing?
But assuming that there must be absurd events in some worlds, there would also be worlds where the absurdity is only noticed (or is observed) by a few people.
I recall a story based around the King in Yellow, the Lovecraftian play that drives people mad. Imagine a mundane version of such a thing, where part of the cast murders another part of the cast.
Imagine a world where only half the audience in each subsequent viewing of the event cares that this happened. It would appear to be supernatural but was in fact just a matter of being in the "wrong" world.
