Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

This is the first of a series of pieces I’m planning in connection with the upcoming 20th anniversary of the publication of A New Kind of Science. “There’s a Whole New Field to Build…” For me the story began nearly 50 years ago —with what I saw as a great and fundamental mystery of science. From mathematics.

Scientific model — a conceptual or mathematical representation of a real-world phenomenon that allows scientists to study the phenomenon in more detail. From miniscule sub-atomic particles to gargantuan black holes, the world of science deals with a dramatic range of sizes. Research computing is a sub-discipline of computer science.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

So now it’s natural to wonder: How far will this go? My goal here is to explore some of the science, technology—and philosophy—of what we can expect from AIs. And indeed it increasingly seems as if the “secret” that nature uses to make the complexity it so often shows is exactly to operate according to the rules of simple programs.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

Or you could do what is the essence of theoretical science: make a model that gives some kind of procedure for computing the answer rather than just measuring and remembering each case. Then we might make a mathematical guess, like that perhaps we should use a straight line as a model: We could pick different straight lines.
