There do seem to be more or less definite patterns that our universe physically demonstrates - calling them laws I think may be epistemically misguided - but my questions are often geared toward how we are perceptually limited in our apprehension of these patterns, such as how the visible spectrum is but a small band on an exponentially larger spectrum.
Re: patterns, you can start to see this as you consider that molecules are seemingly predisposed to react to one another in certain ways, according to a variety of intrinsic factors, such as charge, and extrinsic factors, like proximity to a star.
And these predispositions seem to give rise to the emergent structures, structures that vary in terms of their thermodynamic stability, which can be understood as the structures ability to endure a dynamic environment without collapsing or deforming.
The structures that persist, such as the double helix comprised of certain nucleotides and not others, can perhaps be understood as being more thermodynamically stable than the other possible structures, not unlike how evolutionary "favor" or fitness takes the form of genetic persistence.
But what is it about the universe that enables such predisposition, and why these particular predispositions?
Because while I think our understanding is far from comprehensive, it would seem that a more comprehensive understanding of these predispositions would allow one to predict the teleology of a given molecular arrangement in a given environment.
Personally, I have a vague suspicion that, given sufficient technology, universes like ours can be simulated. Why? To learn. What is a petrie dish to us is a world for an amoeba.
