True, and of course that is the absolutel last solution to the Quasi-Intelligent mathematical values and functions of the Universe.
However. There is a third and ideally suited environment for guiding natural phenomena. Mathematics. It meets all requirements for dynamic regularities and completely replaces the necessity for a “sentient director”.
It is very simple. Spacetime is a physical mathematical construct and as such function mathematically.
