But how does it do it? And why does it work?

Scientific simulations — an advanced type of computational model that not only represents a real-world phenomenon, but aims to predict how the phenomenon might change under different conditions or parameters. Software — a set of instructions, scripts or programmes that are used to operate computers and perform specific tasks.

And yet, many small farmers have limited access to resources and find themselves at a social disadvantage due to bias and prejudice. With less access to technology and fertiliser, small farms are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. But it wasn’t long before I started hearing mentions that somewhere at the school there was a computer. I’d seen a computer in real life only once—when I was 10 years old, and from a distance. How Did We Get Here?

Based on a talk at Numerous Numerosity: An interdisciplinary meeting on the notions of cardinality, ordinality and arithmetic across the sciences. Surely, one might think, to have all that technology they must have the idea of numbers. To us numbers seem so natural—and “obvious”—that it’s hard to imagine everyone wouldn’t have them.

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.

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?

Projects like 15th Street Farm NEP can help towards tackling food security by providing knowledge, skills and agency to young people so that they will have a role in developing a food system where nutritionally adequate, safe and socially acceptable food is available and accessible. Take a look at GrowVeg.
