As the air rushes out of the balloon, it propels the balloon forward, vividly illustrating Newton’s Third Law of Motion – for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Homemade Pendulum: Construct a simple pendulum by suspending a weight from a string.

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. There’s a discussion about H for systems that interact, and how there’s an equilibrium value achieved. It’s exciting now, of course, to be able to use the latest 21st-century ideas to take another step.

How do we achieve this? Let’s say that we’re trying to achieve the objective of having an efficient transportation system for carrying people around. No doubt there’ll at least be some “natural-science-like” characterizations of what’s going on. Will there still be “human-level descriptions” that involve numbers?

For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. Then (by the assumed properties of equality) it follows that. In other words, we’re concerned more with what computational results are obtained, with what computational resources, rather than on the details of the program constructed to achieve this.

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.

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. 3 | The Metamodeling of Axiomatic Mathematics. &#10005.
