One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. Despite this, however, fundamental physics always seemed to resist its advance. The Path to a New Paradigm.

Personalized learning must start with flexible learning spaces. If not, make this change in the physical environment first. Students come to these grade interviews prepared with a formal argument. How do you make this happen? Look at your classroom layout. These conversations are invaluable.

A key idea—ultimately supported at a foundational level by our Physics Project —is that we can think of everything that happens as a computational process. In 2019 I was doing another systematic enumeration, now of possible hypergraph rewriting rules that might correspond to the lowest-level structure of our physical universe.

So, for example, here’s a graphical representation of a simple arithmetic evaluation, with TraceOriginal → True : And here’s the corresponding “pruned” version, with TraceOriginal → Automatic : (And, yes, the structures of these graphs are closely related to things like the causal graphs we construct in our Physics Project.)

The Second Law of thermodynamics is considered one of the great general principles of physical science. Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. But our Physics Project has changed that picture. Why does the Second Law work?

Which is a system used within Python in the event an argument passed to a function is a string, integer or whole number, the passing is like call-by-value because you cannot change the value of the immutable objects passed to the function. Python is a simple, flexible, and readable language, which makes it ideal for the intermediate coder.

You can give Threaded as an argument to any listable function, not just Plus and Times : &#10005. we’re adding SymmetricDifference : find elements that (in the 2-argument case) are in one list or the other, but not both. If we define a month “physically”, it corresponds to a certain fractional number of days: &#10005.

has a very flexible way of representing its results, that allows for different numbers of variables, different numbers of solutions, etc. &#10005. In case one ever doubted that graphs are important, our Wolfram Physics Project has made it pretty clear over the past year that at the lowest level physics is all about graphs.
