Yet more prententious poetry
To understand the theory of decisions,
We must enquire into the nature of a decision,
A thing that does not truly exist.
Everything is determined.
The path of the future is fixed.
So when you decide,
There is nothing to decide.
You simply discover, what was determined in advance.
A decision only exists,
Within a model.
If there are two options,
Then there are two possible worlds.
Two possible versions of you.
A decision does not exist,
Unless a model has been built.
But a model can not be built.
Without defining a why.
We go and build models.
To tell us what to do.
To aid in decisions.
Which don’t exist at all.
A model it must,
To reality match.
Our reality cannot be spoken.
The cycle of models can’t be broken.
Upwards we must go.
Meta.
A decision does need,
A factual-counter,
But a counterfactual does need,
A decision indeed.
This is not a cycle.
A decision follows,
Given the ’factuals.
The ’factuals follow,
From a method to construct,
This decision’s ours to make.
But first we need,
The ’factuals for the choice,
Of how to construct,
The ’factuals for the start.
A never ending cycle,
Spiralling upwards,
Here we are again.
