The TRUEST & most persuasive IDEAS will consistently be derived from the rock-solid foundation:

Ain't nobody knows what Y really is.

It just is what it does = Consequences

As, thoughts & actions.

The components ( or component) which Y [Consequences] ultimately consists of.. is not limited to the objects we normally think of as existing, but also may consist of things not only in the realm of your wildest imagination, but even beyond.

Consider this hypothetical scenario:

Consider...

An impenetrable glowing sphere which has somehow arrived from a time traveling #alien civilization from the distant #future.

We study the behavior of the sphere taking countless precise scientific measurements & develop mathematical equations... that also precisely predict the way its glow changes in response to various stimulus.

We develop various scientific models of what is inside the sphere based on the abundant empirical data...

We try for 1000 years to no avail, & we realize that we are jus not smart enuff.. so we create an intelligent Ai.. designed to create models based on mathematical equations.

An ultra creative Ai that can also imagine components beyond our wildest imagination.

To virtually no remotely intelligent person's surprise it provides 500 trillion unique models of [what is inside the sphere], all of which would perfectly predict the behavior of the glow.

....It then asks how many more sets of 500 trillion entirely unique models would you like (?)
