Basically, the main premise of science is that nothing is that unique, which allows us to make smaller blueprints of the world around us by saying "these things are pretty much copies, they are not identical in many senses, but they are identical through many lenses". It works quite well for our understanding, so it's likely that to understand the universe, we'll have to find aliens (or populated worlds, populated by some form of intelligence, I'm ok if it is an intelligence of an ant hive). A bit of metaphysical reasoning of course but then isn't photosyntesis metaphysical? (because you need a quantum search for the reaction to start). I did not read about it, but I suspect if I do, I'll find that human brains save, retrieve, and combine information by some quantum process, which is likely not fully contained within a human body (let alone the skull). Probably, that's the reason neural networks are still underperforming humans. We train them in an obvious replication of human brain activity but the poorly explored quantum connection is not being trained. I guess it might appear there by chance or we'll have to encode it as well.
Anyway.. More later...
