? You can say everything is just a pattern using a relatively small set of elementary particles. And that's more or less true, but once you start moving back eventually you will find two hydrogen atoms that where cold enough to stick together for the first time, and guess what that had no prior precedence.
So to the line that separates a true multicellular organism from a colony of related cells that assist each other is not completely obvious, but when that colony starts to have specialization that's a 'new' thing.
As is the line that separates a smart phone from a normal one. Perhaps you move back the smart phone to include the first phone with an app store, but there is still a line you can draw even if where you draw it comes down the the specific definition you use.
PS: Fuzzy definitions does not mean you can't draw the line, just that different people will use a slightly different definitions to draw a slightly different line.
Ah but you see my friend that first collision was due to the combination of the four fundamental forces acting on the products of quantum physics. Indeed the only truly original "idea" is the big bang.
However there are indications that it too is neither unique nor special and may very well itself be a simulation or a small part of an infinite multiverse.
No it isn't. Reality is information by definition. It would be foolhardy to think that your reality is "true" even if it is consistent to you.
Reality to you - assuming this is all real - are a series of electrical signals feed into a neural network that is your brain. Even if it is consistent - it is nothing more than information.
