Let us imagine living in a world devoid of meaning, one in which our only purpose is to produce an output that functions as an input for a system; the byproduct being our very existence. I am not the first to envision this dystopian scenario; many authors, scientists and philosophers have questioned life and its purpose. Theories varying from insignificance to the functional even up to the divine and transcendental; the purpose of life apparently continues to evade consensus.
