The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

So many discoveries, so many inventions, so much achieved, so much learned. And key to everything we do is leveraging what we have already done—often taking what in earlier years was a pinnacle of technical achievement, and now using it as a routine building block to reach a level that could barely even be imagined before.

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

I quickly determined that there were no such rules with 2 colors and blocks of sizes 2 or 3 that achieved any kind of randomization. Without the benefit of intuition from things like rule 30, von Neumann assumed that something like self-reproduction would need an incredibly complicated setup, as it seems to have, for example, in biology.
