Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language. So for me it was obvious: if I couldn’t figure out things myself with math, I should use a computer. Computation theory.

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

We can think of the ruliad as the entangled limit of all possible computations—or in effect a representation of all possible formal processes. Many of these consequences are incredibly complicated, and full of computational irreducibility. And in a way our Physics Project begins from a similar place.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1. How Did We Get Here?
