It isn't always easy to be a Native American woman and teach science because of how culturally sensitive some topics can be.

As I teach my Linear Algebra and Differential Equations class this semester, which uses more computing than ever, I'm thinking even more about these topics. First, I know more computer science and computer programming now than I did in 2007. This is mostly calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations.

And in the past few months we’ve been steadily adding connections to the full range of popular LLMs, making Wolfram Language a unique hub not only for LLM usage, but also for studying the performance—and science—of LLMs. So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? And in Version 14 there are significant advances around calculus.

But what I’ve increasingly been realizing is that actually it’s showing us something even bigger and deeper: a whole fundamentally new paradigm for making models and in general for doing theoretical science. But there remained plenty of phenomena—particularly associated with complexity—that this paradigm seemed to have little to say about.

And if we’re going to make a “general theory of mathematics” a first step is to do something like we’d typically do in natural science, and try to “drill down” to find a uniform underlying model—or at least representation—for all of them. So how about logic, or, more specifically Boolean algebra ? and Not ) is: &#10005.

Ed was someone who wanted to independently figure things out for himself, and delighted in presenting his often somewhat-outlandish conclusions—whether about technology, science, business or the world—with dramatic showman-like panache. I wrote about this in one chapter of my 2002 book A New Kind of Science.

And it’s one that I think has extremely deep implications—both in science and beyond. The ruliad is an ultimate example of multicomputation, and of what I’ve characterized as the fourth major paradigm for theoretical science. But what about other models of computation—like cellular automata or register machines or lambda calculus?
