What would they compete over? What would the mechanisms of mutation and of selection be?
This also would seem to assume that time has to be fundamental and cannot be emergent, for the evolution of laws to happen over time.
Obviously from our observed laws perspective we can find (we did not yet) reasons for such preferences yet changing conditions (time, matter density, energy, velocity, gravity) can potentially influence preferred laws and states of matter. Think of superconductivity, how is it even possible that there is no resistance in electron flow, we only make use of this phenomena without understanding the theory behind it.
I am looking forward for the book, just a tiny glympse of different perspective can influence a series of new inventions.
