Numbers and networks: how can we use mathematics to assess the resilience of global supply chains?

Futurum

Pure mathematicians study mathematical concepts in their abstract forms, while applied mathematicians use maths to solve problems in the real world and are, therefore, an essential part of many other disciplines, such as the natural sciences, engineering and finance.

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

Stephen Wolfram

For that was a time when the concepts of computing were first being worked out—and through approaches like cybernetics and the nascent area of artificial intelligence, people started exploring the broader scientific implications of computational ideas. In some ways, ruliology is like natural science.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

But while this might be a convenient setup for biology, it’s not at all clear that it’s even close to the best way to achieve the functionality we need. That’s not to say that there are no “structuring ideas” that are relevant for neural nets.
