Expression Evaluation and Fundamental Physics

Stephen Wolfram

And it’s all based on ideas from our Physics Project —and on a fundamental correspondence between what’s happening at the lowest level in all physical processes and in expression evaluation. And this is where we can start making an analogy with physics. And now there’s a deep analogy to physics.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

Mathematics. And one of the stunningly beautiful things—at least for a physicist like me—is that the same phenomenon that in physical space gives us gravity, in branchial space gives us quantum mechanics. It’s because we’re observers like us that we perceive the laws of physics we do. These are all ways to formalize the world.

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

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.
