We’ve worked very hard to make its design as clean and coherent as possible—and to make it a timeless way to elegantly represent computation and everything that can be described through it. Last Friday I fired up Version 1 on an old Mac SE/30 computer (with 2.5 Last Friday I fired up Version 1 on an old Mac SE/30 computer (with 2.5

And all those years we’ve been continuing to build a taller and taller tower of capabilities, progressively expanding the scope of our vision and the breadth of our computational coverage of the world: Version 1.0 In the arc of intellectual history it defines a broad, new, computational paradigm for formalizing the world.

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.

Introducing Astro Computation. Astronomy has been a driving force for computation for more than 2000 years (from the Antikythera device on)… and in Version 13.2 But what’s new now is astronomical computation fully integrated into the system. But what’s new now is astronomical computation fully integrated into the system.

But some of it has immediate practical implications, notably for parallel, distributed, nondeterministic and quantum-style computing. The key point is that a given event cannot happen unless all the inputs to it are available, i.e. have already been computed. Some of what this will lead us to is deeply abstract.

Thanks to some heroic software engineering by our team and by OpenAI , ChatGPT can now call on Wolfram|Alpha—and Wolfram Language as well—to give it what we might think of as “computational superpowers”. But what can one do when that conversation has actual computation and computational knowledge in it? But there’s more too.

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. It’s yet another surprising construct that’s arisen from our Physics Project. The full ruliad is in effect a representation of all possible computations.
