In the figure: a visual preview of the next #ComplexityThoughts as drawn by an AI.

Assume it'd possible to recreate the conditions of the Universe at a point t0 in time between 10 and 13 billion years ago. Then Apply a very small perturbation to some physical observable, in such a way that the new state of the Universe is quite similar, but not the exactly same, as our Universe at time t0.
Name U'(t) the evolution of the state of the perturbed universe, and U(t) the evolution of the unperturbed state of the current universe, until nowadays at time t.

Q:

What is the likelihood of this Mastodon post to appear in the universe U', after assuming to know that in the universe U the post appeared exactly at time t?
Assume to know that this happened with probability 1 in U at time t.

This is of course related to what emergence is and to its robustness to perturbations. If we are a the result of a frozen accident, as per Gell-Mann's arguments, how likely is that accident to happen again under some small changes?

Any thought, theoretical, philosophical, qualitative or quantitative is more than welcome.
