If we selected random pixels on a grid to be filled in, we would get something that looked like TV static most of the time. But some arrangements of the pixels would be recognizable forms.

What is the minimum amount of information we actually need before a recognizable form appears from the chaos? Of all the possible images within a given grid, which one specifically is the one we are looking for?

I've created this app, Bunna to answer that question.

Who else is in there waiting for us to discover besides just the bunny? What possible futures unknown could be revealed?

The only thing stopping you from seeing these unknown futures is the fact that you will not live nearly long enough to look through all of the possible images in your lifetime even if you reviewed multiple images per second.

If you reached enough resolution, scaling this grid up to thousands, millions of pixels across, hiding in that grid would be every invention humanity has ever made, every page of text ever written, a photo of every face that's ever existed in all of creation.

The computational time to sit and look at each of these randomly generated images at such a color and resolution staggeringly approaches Infinity very quickly, and yet it's mathematically provable that every photo your HD camera could possibly take already exists in the defined set of known possible images.

The implications of Bunna are pretty heavy when it comes to thinking about computational time.
