mjufpn: You have a point :-) At what we currently perceive to be the very bottom of the rabbit hole where all matter is merely constrained or 'appropriately bundled' energy, and all energy is merely a measure of motion, we come face to face with the question, what is motion? Unless we wish to indulge in circular reasoning, we can't define motion--or what it is that moves--in terms of matter or energy. So, what is it that moves to manifest energy and how does that work?

some people think that the real building block of the universe is the information it self. And that if the world was in the begining just a singular world that had no measure the begining was put to motion in meaning not in energy. And then the energy was developing in the pre set rules that very self projecting until the univers we created existed.
