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. In many ways, the ruliad is a strange and profoundly abstract thing.

Building on an earlier interest in space and spacecraft , I’d gotten very interested in physics, and was trying to read everything I could about it. There were several shelves of physics books at the local bookstore. The other books I’d read had all basically said “physics works like this”. The lambda hyperon.

And for example the concept of “temperature” is there because exponential distributions familiar from statistical physics happen to be being used, but there’s no “physical” connection—at least so far as we know.) In this particular case, we can use known laws of physics to work it out.

(For about three centuries it seemed as if mathematical equations were the ultimate way to describe the natural world—but in the past few decades , and particularly poignantly with our recent Physics Project , it’s become clear that simple programs are in general a more powerful approach.) How does all this relate to technology?
