We have numbers recorded in a pseudo-random order; they are selected in a pseudo-random order (actually dependent on time) by a computer. Now, let's imagine that we created this computer from scratch. We ourselves determine the order in which the numbers are recorded on the tape. If we perform a good calculation (in the ideal case, if we have the ability to perform arbitrarily complex calculations with arbitrarily high accuracy), then we can even predict which number and at what time will be selected by our program. WE CAN FULLY CONTROL OUR PROGRAMS! At the same time, the programs themselves will not notice this: if they try to check the randomness of the numbers, the experiment will give them a normal random distribution, uniform in the long term (or some other, depending on the experiment). At the same time, all their work, based on randomness, is not actually random, but predetermined. That's what I mean.
Perhaps I misunderstood, but then it turns out that we are not directly controlling this computer, but we set the order at the time of its assembly.
There are many laws in the world, and they all act on matter at the same time. Some actions are less noticeable, some more. The total number of actions is incredibly large; what guarantee is there that the number of their types is so small that they can all fit in our brain?
But the accumulation of laws in the macro world is a consequence of the laws of the microworld. In the end, it is quite possible that there is a certain layer of matter that is finite, elementary. In this case, all the laws of the world will be derivatives of this single law. Of course, one can believe that matter does not have such a layer and is infinite "from below." Either way, there are currently no technical possibilities to determine this, and arguing about it is pointless.

I'll talk about portals. I mean time tunnels created using black holes. Magic and Wikipedia are irrelevant here.
Let's assume that there are intertemporal tunnels. I don't understand how this is consistent with the idea of the Higher Intelligence™ and extraterrestrial life.
Well, firstly, it won't flatten you, that's incorrect. Secondly, the structure of black holes has not been fully studied, so it is not yet possible to reliably talk about what happens beyond the event horizon. Thirdly, I mean not supermassive holes, but microscopic black holes that appear in space from time to time. It is they that can emit signals.
You won't get out of there. That should be enough for you. What SIGNALS can a black hole emit? How can an object that absorbs everything, including light, emit something?
