There can be no two things that are in principle indistinguishable. Show me any two things that are in principle indistinguishable and I will show you one thing that you have no basis on which to postulate that it is two exactly similar things. The universe, as information, is not compressible. Inasmuch as a parcel of information is truly redundant, it must, in principle, be indistinguishable from its equal. Otherwise information would be lost in expressing/storing the information as X * 2. And if it is truly equal then it is misfounded to postulate that the information actually exists any more than once. Order is apparent compressibility. When you see order, you see similarity or consistency, that is, two or more objects having apparently the same attributes; the same parcel of information, attributed to them, repeated. But that would constitute objective compressibility. In a hypothetical alternate system of storing universe-information, you could simply store the parcel of information once and create a reference in the second instance pointing to the first. But since we've already showed that the universe's information is not truly (viz., lossleslly) compressible, that means that the universe-information must ALREADY exist in the most compact possible way. Since order is the appearence of consistency in time or space, i.e., redundancy in form across multiple objects or instances, that means that order is actually an illusion of sorts caused by our seeing the same information multiple times! This would be a result of our particular mode of perceiving & interacting with All That Is object-ifying/distinguishing/separating universe-information in such a way that truly distinct and apparently discrete parts of it (EVERYTHING is connected and one, in actuality) are associated with the SAME parcels of information, multiplied in our perception. For example, inasmuch as two angles could be about 90 degrees, the about-90-degree-ness of one angle is the SAME about-90-degree-ness in the other angle. More specific DIFFERENCE in angle is true information but because they are both about 90 degrees, there exists no true possibility of one being not about 90 degrees, because inasmuch as the consistency is due to order and not chance, the principle that makes one about 90 degrees is the SAME principle that makes the other about 90 degrees, therefore the potentiality of one or the other is intrinsicly limited and restricted from being not about 90 degrees. We see consistency because our mode of perceiving allows us to create a false hypothetical scenario of one angle being not about 90 degrees and to contrast that with the fact that they both 'happen to', for some reason (maybe 'order'), be about 90 degrees. -- Inasmuch as the spatially differentiated 'objects' are similar, they are one and the same. Or inasmuch as a spatially extended is self-consistent, the consistent attribute is a single point of information. We create more information than is necessary by assuming that the exactly similar aspects of objects must be repeated just because the objects associated with the aspects are repeated in space or time. We also assume that repetition in space or time is necessarily ontological. But inasmuch as the objects are truly similar they must be considered one and the same. The only real differences are the aspects/ attributes that are truly dissimilar. It is questionable whether difference in time or space in itself necessarily represents a true dissimilarity. It could be us seeing the same thing twice. It could be argued that inasmuch as it is actually valid to consider two things separate, it is not valid to consider them to be ordered, because order assumes redundancy and redundancy assumes actual exact similarities which are at the same time different (i.e,, in principle distinguishable which makes them not actually redundant) Order, then, is nothing more than an illusion created by witnessing the same thing or aspect multiple times (in space or in time). -- It should also be noted that one implication here is that the complexity that we add to the universe in creating redundancies where none exist, must, to be perceived, exist within ourselves.
