What is the basic structure of the Universe?
Reason?

Logic?

Math?

Laws of Nature?

Chance?

Chaos?

Chance and Chaos?

Accidents?

Super Reason? (Reason to a certain degree, but way advanced)

WHAT!!!?
 
Creation.

The universe would instantly vanish into nothingness if God didn’t keep it in existence.

In other words,
the universe has no structure,
because the word structure implies something within a thing that keeps the thing together,
like the steel frame of a skyscraper keeps it standing up.
 
I would say by a mind like ours, but even superior to our own. I think the universe is held together in the mind of God and this is why we see so much inexplicable order. Have you seen the documentary about the Bethlehem Star? Before the universe was created, He already knew the precise moment and location where Jesus was going to die, even before the fall of man. When He set the stars in motion He already had plans for the entire timeline of creation.
 
I believe the basic structure of the universe is Logic.

It is my opinion that God created the universe using a series of logic constructs. These logic constructs take the form of physics, mathematics, chemistry, etc. He defined these constructs in such a manner as to bring about our present existence. The universe is keep “in existence” through His will, but the interactions taking place within it are governed by His logic.

This includes the aforementioned Bethlehem Star. I believe this logic to be so precise so as to allow for the perfect alignment of occurrences, including the extinction of the dinosaurs, development of man, progress of man, etc. Being all knowing and without limitation, setting up such a series of event would be child’s play 😛
 
Fundamentally it is the will and power of God that underlies all Creation, but even these follow the basic laws of logic.

  • Reason?
  • Logic?
  • Math?
I’d really suggest reading the book “Where Math Comes From…” for these. I think it would be helpful with respect to many of the questions you’ve asked about math in these forums. Reading the first couple of chapters may be sufficient.
  • Laws of Nature?
Laws of nature are descriptions of observations that we make. Ideally these give insight to how something works, but they inferences one makes from their observations may be incorrect. Having these laws systematically classified makes it easier to find situations where contradictions have occurred and further refine the inferences since many of the laws overlap (ex: Newton’s laws of gravity and Kepler’s laws of planetary movement). These’s laws may be useful in building a better understanding or a better predictive model of a part of the universe, but are not themselves said structure.
  • Chance?
  • Chaos?
  • Chance and Chaos?
  • Accidents?
These seem to be more descriptions of statistical distributions. These are useful for talking about systems that are modeled stochastically.

Yeah!

I have done what you suggested.

I ran out of time and had to return the book to the library.

I will get it again.

I really found it helpful and totally interesting.

I have read the first few chapters.

You can bet your bottom dollar that I will dig into cognitive sciences in the future.

Sorry, could not remember who it was I had suggested the book to before. Now that you mention it I remember you giving a response to it!
 
I do not remember telling you either. It is impossible to remember what goes on on all of these pages.
