Perhaps the absence of rules is what god is? Or as an interesting side note, if there are no rules then all things would exist and not exist at the same time, therefore everything and nothing would be able to form out of nothing or everything. Which just opens up a HUGE can of worms. Anything could be anything at any time in any place, and who is to say that 'nothingness' is not subject to the same rules. For all we know, everyhting that we know could be fake and we could just be part of the infinite loop that we just created.
The point is, that since we are based on rules, thats all we can understand/know. it doesnt mean that our rules actually exist, they are just how the universe may appear to us. Unless we can somehow find away to not base our research/findings on rules we will never fully understand the universe, but at the same time the only 'concept' that we have that even compares to a ruleless universe is chaos. Then again, by thinking about it we are assigning it rules.
sorry. its an endless loop. no answer.
