We see this in many cultures and countries, they have different languages and very different approach to life. Some languages have inbuilt work to describe some complicated situations and some languages do not. Languages change over time to include more situations and words to describe concepts.

The natural languages are efficient in communicating very basic survival ideas but to communicate complex concepts like economic condition of a particular region or country, they fail.

Almost all of the problems that you see in the world are due to this miscommunication due to natural languages.

There is no way to do physics by just using English. You have to have equations to describe this complicated information like probability densities.

Natural languages like English are easily misinterpreted. Movie say examples of this in the news where they manipulate the words and exaggerate the situations. We often say that they don’t show both sides of the argument. This is due to the limitations of natural language to describe complicated situations like war etc.

I do believe that the Wolfram language has a lot of potential. We wouldn’t have to rest massive amounts of time to to communicate our thoughts and we would have ai do this trivial tasks that just take a lot of time and energy.

I bet we’re going to hear more about Wolfram language everywhere in the future.

This phenomenon of computational irreducibility it’s very important and fundamental.

One of the best things is that now we know there are some processes and programs that can’t be predicted. So before knowing this phenomenon we would have wasted a lot of time trying to predict certain things or simplify and reduce some complicated process so that we can work out consequences. But now we know that there is this principle of a reducibility and some things just cannot be predicted by conventional simplification we do not let our ego come in the way, our brain is no different than the program.

It is very similar to Godels incompleteness theorem there’s some theorems that can’t be proved from the axioms and our conventional understanding would tell us that if something is true there must be a way to prove it.

Obviously it can be used to simulate some complicated and irreducible processes like what’s going to happen in the market or what’s going to happen in our body by some given drug.

The applications are limitless, but the only thing that sucks is that there is no way for us to predict the rules that would give us this phenomenon.

We can just check the rules by running them and see that a specific computation which is irreducible can be utilised to model this particular system.

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.
