If life coded itself into the quantum geometry of space itself, wouldn't that
make it invisible to us? And if it's invisible to us, could that explain
Fermi's "paradox" -- we don't see ETIs because they're in hyperspace. Does any
of this speculation require analog computing?

Useless hypotheses:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing
Everything that can happen has already happened, and not just once, but an
infinite number of times. This will continue forever.
