    • Stephen has been criticized for his ideas but I like to listen to what he has to say. It’s pretty interesting.

    • Thanks to Prof. Wolfram for the audit.

    • Simple rules can produce complex results.

    • Thanks!

    • Thanks!

    • I don’t understand why no mathematicians or physicist paid attention to it before. This seems so fundamental and natural. You always see this problem in mathematics that some problems are hard and some are not. But why is there this hierarchy of problems,why can’t we solve them easily.

      I have always felt there is something fundamental about computation like mass and energy.

      This is connected to the Godels incompleteness theorem and what are the sorts of problems that can be solved.

      This is fascinating and I’m very confident we’re going to see more of this computational perspective in fundamental physics to answer the fundamental questions of reality.
