My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage. I see the LSA effort and our Teaspoon languages connected to the original goals for computer science. In 1961, the MIT Sloan School held a symposium on “Computers and the World of the Future.”

Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models. But there is something else too—and it’s from this that the full computational paradigm emerges. At the level of individual events, ideas from the theory and practice of computation are useful.

And in what follows we’ll see the great power that arises from using this to combine the achievements and intuitions of physics and mathematics—and how this lets us think about new “general laws of mathematics”, and view the ultimate foundations of mathematics in a different light. and zero arguments: α[ ]. ✕.

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. Ed was assigned to an airbase in Arizona , and by the summer of 1955 he had qualified as a fighter pilot.

Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. Once one has the idea of “equilibrium”, one can then start to think of its properties as purely being functions of certain parameters—and this opens up all sorts of calculus-based mathematical opportunities.

Because it implies that whatever “computational parametrization” or “computational description language” one uses for the ruliad, one will almost always get something that can be viewed as “computationally equivalent”. But what about other models of computation—like cellular automata or register machines or lambda calculus?
