Purpose vs Randomness
Authors/Creators
Description
We introduce the Acausal Purpose Invariant ($\mathcal{P}$), a decibel-scale measure of how atypical a number's prime ancestry is relative to a stochastic background. Empirical sweeps reveal a sharp probabilistic cutoff separating random structure from cost-paid persistence, reframing the detection of life, artifacts, and purpose as a problem of entropy suppression rather than intelligence.
