1. Take either being in the universe. It consists of a simpler partial beings and information on how they are related. Take either partial being and consider it: the same. Perform these iterations to the end, and look back: the whole universe is only information and nothing more.
2. So, the universe is only information, and nothing else. What semantics does the simplest element (bit) of this information have?
Of course:
• "the same" (let's designate it "S")
• "the other" ("O")
3. What is the semantic of the first level of combinations of bits S and O of the information universe?
SS is the same as S. Repeated information is the same information.
OO=O, similarly.
Thus, at the first level there is only a combination of SO (=OS).
4. The semantics of combination (SO) is, of course, "being".
In order to exist, something must represent its own information (to be itself) and information about something else (to interact).
5. And what is the semantic of the second level of combinations of bits of the information universe?
• (SO)S – "the observer"
• (SO)O – "the observable"
The stuff of the universe is observation. The observer is a creator of universe as the reality that it observes.
6. The third level is the metrics of the universe
• ((SO)S)S
• ((SO)S)O
• ((SO)S)SO
• ((SO)O)S
• ((SO)O)O
• ((SO)O)SO
• ((SO)S)((SO)O)
• ((SO)S)((SO)O)S
• ((SO)S)((SO)O)O
• ((SO)S)((SO)O)SO
determines the fundamentals: 3D space, 4 interactions, 17 particles...
7. The fourth level contains 6128 combinations. Some of them represent important concepts, some less important. The semantics of concepts are distributed on combinations so that the universe exists: this is the "fine tuning" of the universe.
8. At the fifth level there are 8.24011763218714872e+1845 of combinations.
The combining rules of bits of the information universe generate sets of combinations whose cardinality explains the diversity of the universe phenomena. And ensures the ability of the universe to evolve.
9. The foregoing in this thread provides an answer to the main question of the universe.
Colleague expresses the opinion that increasing entropy will eventually eliminate everything in the universe.

This is a very interesting opinion indeed.
And first of all, it is interesting in attitude to this problem in modern physics. Modern physics is little shy about this topic.
Because it is very inconvenient not to have a clear answer to a such simple question.

This question sounds like this: "Will the heat death of the universe occur: yes or no?"
If you ask physicist, he will do everything not to answer. He will discourse a lot, deeply explain, refer to the history and latest research, but you shouldn't expect neither yes nor no.

Some (few) people are wondering: why is Elon Musk @elonmusk going to send a million people to Mars in the next 40 years, and why is preparing for this with such energy, which (if to leave aside the charm of achievements of this very extraordinary person) is more like a rush?
1>
@elonmusk We visited the Moon half a century ago and since then have done quite well without far space flights. Is it possible that such a waste of funds and efforts is simply explained by the fact that one enthusiast was carried away by the idea of giving humanity a multi-planetary?
2>
A fleet of 1000 #Starship, 3 launches per day, difficulties and suffering in flight and in life in the colony, losses ... Expenses with which even the Sahara or Antarctica can turn into a paradise for the same people. And all this for what? Just out of principle, let it be?

Why does quantum gravity (and, accordingly, graviton) not exist, and all theories professing this idea are fictitious? Because the nature of the gravitational interaction, with all the kinship with the other three (quantized), is still somewhat different.

Like everything in the information universe, fundamental interactions are the derivatives of the metric of the universe. It is it that determines their number - four - and the basic features of each of them.

The metric of the universe is determined by the third level of combinations of the beings of the universe (more on this here:
1/19 The compression/static/expansion trilemma is meaningless. It comes from the naive worldly idea of the universe as a certain volume of matter existing in space and time. This idea (the same turtle and three whales) brought cosmology even to such funny absurdity:
2/19 To understand what the universe is, first need to clear yourself of the jumble of absurdities that the BBT has turned cosmology into. Take any theory, and if it has in anamnesis the Doppler interpretation of redshift - forget it, this theory is wrong.
3/19 When you free yourself from childhood mistakes, you will have the opportunity to return to the forgotten source: the content of the concept "universe". The universe is everything. Everything that exists is the inner concepts of it. There are no concepts external to it.
Since the universe is unknowable to the individual, believing is an integral part of consciousness. This applies to scientific consciousness in full.
But scientific belief should not contradict physics.
Belief in aliens is no different from religion: it is just as unscientific, because it contradicts the special theory of relativity.
No movement in the space of the universe can occur faster than the speed of light. This means that neither interstellar travel nor inter-civilization contacts are possible.
1. Why does the universe exists as we observe it, that is, progressing from simple states to more and more complex ones?
This thread complements the answer to the question about the cause of the universe existing given in the earlier thread.
2. The idea for this new thread came in a dream. The brain, accustomed to everyday perception of reality, is not satisfied with a strictly formal answer, and, without asking the owner's opinion, seeks more worldly arguments for the same conceptual basis.
3. The conceptual basis is defined in another earlier thread related to the first: the universe is only information and nothing else.
