Abstract
The seeds of freewill, intelligence and life remain embedded in matter. Under certain conditions, some physical structures attain these emergent properties. Freewill allows goal-oriented action; freewill combined with intelligence allows self-realization. The structure of the cosmos is indestructible. It exerts a strong top-down control and allows only certain actions. Any action has to follow the laws of mathematics (there are no physical laws). Thus at any given time, there is a 'set of allowed actions', and structures having freewill have to select actions from the 'allowed set'. The Cosmos is programmed to attain the goal of self-realization. All physical structures including living organisms are manifestations inside the Cosmos, and cannot exist outside. The Cosmos allows the maximum possible freewill and intelligence to beings like us and thus attains self-realization through us.
