The laws of physics allows information—and information by definition could be represented otherwise due to its substrate-independence. Hence, knowledge (i.e., “resilient” information according to Chiara Marletto) can never be right—because it can be improved indefinitely. Humans act because we are fallible because of our condition in the multiverse—we act because we have to choose.
”The uncertainty of the future must be true because the contrary would completely negate the possibility of action. This uncertainty stems from two basic sources: the unpredictability of human acts of choice, and insufficient knowledge about natural phenomena. All his actions are of necessity speculations based on his judgment of the course of future events. The omnipresence of uncertainty introduces the ever-present possibility of error in human action.”
