There are so many unjustified assumptions in the question it is barely worth considering - at least not without first addressing and questioning these assumptions. Honesty and humility in the face of our ultimate ignorance is more appropriate than the common pretence that we may be able to resolve such issues. We do not know what consciousness is, hence we are hardly in a position to consider what aspects of nature, whether mathematical or not, may give rise to it and the aims and intentions it may create. We are lost in a universe that we will never properly understand, and this brief entry makes a probably futile attempt to persuade readers with an inflated view of the power of science of this bleak and ultimate truth.
