I guess Matt has a point, no predictor can predict everything, you "CAN" make a
predictor that predicts the opposite of what it predicts (or just look to the
fact that a machine can't know all of its particles details). Physics doesn't
change of course and survival is progressed towards, and there is a predictor/
general purpose pattern machine that will let us survival for millions of years
instead of ~100 years. There's no machine that can know everything or predict
everything, well it's possible who knows, but so ya the cases not predicted
need additional rules/patterns written like Matt said, for those rarer cases,
but eventually there'd be so many ultra rare ones that you'd have to write
about the code or machines you've chose to store in the super utopia machine.
So, can you live forever? I think you can without knowing all, there may be a
slight probability of death, but again the larger your system is ex. galaxy
sized then the less chance you have of being blown up - your brain could be as
big as a galaxy BTW and still think the same. So that small probability might
be covered up by other things like quantity etc. For ex. the probability of a
planet sized utopia nanobotspecies dying is 0.0000001% let's say per a million
years, and same for another such utopia B, but if we combine both and get a
bigger system, we get 0.0000001+0.0000001=0.00000005 and actually we get
0.000000000000005 or something cuz I think the bigger you go the less chaos you
have around you, so the danger is less high if you convert matter around you
into utopia nanobots :) Ex. 5 snakes and 1 butterfly > 4 snakes and 2
butterfly, 3 snakes and 3 butterfly. The more you make into you, you also get a
bonus - less of bad as well! It could be 5 snakes 5 butterfly. So while you
can't predict everything, I'd say the more you know, the less you don't know!
