Gravity and time select for stable patterns in the configuration of matter.
Why?
because unstable patterns break apart when met with random and wild phenomena. In a universe full of so much chaos, stable patterns are the only patterns that don't break apart.
why?
because their cohesion is stronger than the forces trying to break them apart
why?
these patterns build upon themselves and create a collection of energy that works together that is more than chaos can muster
why?
because chaotic energy isn't going to be cohesive and collect enough force to beat a stable pattern
why?
because if chaotic energy were so cohesive and structures, it would be a stable pattern and thus, not chaotic. Chaos, is by definition, an unstable pattern
why?
because it is an axiomatic definition of chaos
why?
because if we are to talk about this subject, we need definitions to work with
why?
because the amount of information being passed from me to you would be negligible unless we can use a common language
why?
because without common words, you wouldn't be able to understand anything I'm trying to say
why?
because information needs to be encoded before it can transfer from my brain to yours
why?
because only I am able to see into my internal consciousness
why?
because consciousness, as it is conventionally understood, is a solo venture
why?
because a star exploded and deposited heavy elements into a massive disk, which slowly formed into planets.
