As winter begins, keeping kids both physically and mentally active becomes a challenging task for parents and educators. This activity introduces concepts of structural engineering and the physics of weight distribution. Plastic Cup Towers: Stack plastic cups in various formations to build the tallest or most stable tower.

It’s yet another surprising construct that’s arisen from our Physics Project. And it’s one that I think has extremely deep implications—both in science and beyond. In the language of our Physics Project, it’s the ultimate limit of all rulial multiway systems. For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality.

The history of physics might make one think that numbers would be a necessary part of the structure of any fundamental theory of our physical universe. But the models of physics suggested by our Physics Project have no intrinsic reference to numbers. How do we achieve this? What the Universe Is Like.

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century.

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.
