It’s exciting, dramatic—the pulsing noise from space pushing through the ancient computer systems. How do the aliens communicate with Foster? How else would an intelligence that is so completely “other” try to communicate with us? After all, everyone knows that mathematics is the universal language. Well and good.

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 when it’s connected to the Wolfram plugin it can do these things. And here’s a bonus: immediate visualization: How did this work?

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 as such, it traces out the entangled consequences of progressively applying all possible computational rules. The Entangled Limit of Everything. I call it the ruliad.
