Given that the universe is eventually inconsistent, your assertion that human observers are certainty maximizers is interesting as a polar force to eventual inconsistency.

Throw the idea of entropy into the mix and you have some interesting comparisons for fun.

1. Universe(Uncertainty Maximizer) || Humans(Certainty Maximizer)

2. Universe(Eventually Inconsistent) || Humans(Eventually Consistent)

3. Universe(Entropy) || Humans(Negentropy)

Seems like life contributes towards a certain required organization principle of the universe to balance out the chaos.
