“For the line drawings, we traced the contours with custom-made computer vision algorithms,” says Dirk. “We We wanted to see whether there were enough consistent features in each category for the computer to be able to accurately categorise any one image.” If the computer had only guessed randomly, it would have had an accuracy of 17%.

Think of it as the entangled limit of everything that is computationally possible: the result of following all possible computational rules in all possible ways. And it’s one that I think has extremely deep implications—both in science and beyond. The full ruliad is in effect a representation of all possible computations.

And in it this computation is going on: &#10005. Let’s change the rule for the computation a bit. But that ignores the phenomenon of computational irreducibility. But it’s a fundamental fact of the computational universe that the result doesn’t have to be simple: &#10005. Imagine you have some sophisticated AI.

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?

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. But now we can make a bridge to mathematics. So is something similar happening with mathematics?

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?

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.

Collaboration “Unlike in natural sciences, teams of collaborators are usually smaller in political science,” says Damien. Additionally, the rise of the computer age has created big opportunities for political science. I’m very excited to be moving to the Paris Institute of Political Sciences, known as Sciences Po.
