I don't often agree with OD, but in this case I tend to agree with the general notion that the physical laws are evolved. In my mind, I imagine the universe starting out as some kind of chaotic information/energy foam from which the laws of logic and then later the laws of physics somehow 'precipitated out'. This occurred because the local regions of the chaos foam with physical laws were able to perpetuate themselves in further generations of the local computation. Of course, attempting (badly) to describe the process in English gives the false impression that there was a time dimension, but time itself didn't exist until later. Take from that statement what you will.

This all made perfect sense to me when I first thought of it on a particularly strong THC trip...
