    I'm not taking any position on multiple universes. Within this
    universe, SQ fills some subset of available niches. Since a niche can't
    be detected until it's filled, there's no way of knowing which niches
    exist. So I suppose this argues for indeterminism, at least from the
    point of view of the patterns themselves.
