Intermittent Flashes

.....but dice does play (t/"T)he God".

My last few days and nights have been pretty weird - incommensurable to one other.
While I was not exactly "comfortably numb", I had been dwelling into the mystery of our life and death, after mildly imparing my "motor skills" (.....as a result my thoughts were subject to lapses of concenteration)

Excerpts:
At some point in our lives, we must ask ourselves, "What is about life, that makes it worth living it?" Is it because of the randomness of Life? What about the subtle choices that one needs to make? (or is exercising them continuously at an unconscious level)

At the very basic level one is left with just two choices: life or death!
However, it must be noted that it is in only one of the states (vis-à-vis living) that one gets an oppurtunity to exercise it, if at all. So, in effect the very nature of the decision problem goes from a state of two choices to a state with no choice (a zero dimensional state)

The above decision problem is non-deterministic, something that characterizes every other "choice-problem" in this world. This is also analogous to a NP-complete problem, because every other "choice-problem" can be reduced to this (in finite steps).

3) The context of the post keeps flickering, because it speaks at two different levels. One (more appropriately focussed at the beginning) is about the physiological state of the psychological mind. The other (more appropriately focussed in excerpts) is more concerened about the mental state of the psychological mind. Hence, in one tone, it tells about the state of the mind, and in the other, the thoughts that are being generated.
