Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

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. Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

It’s yet another surprising construct that’s arisen from our Physics Project. In the language of our Physics Project, it’s the ultimate limit of all rulial multiway systems. And here is a rulial multiway system made from hypergraph rewriting of the kind used in our Physics Project , using all rules with signature : &#10005.

How can smart contact lenses monitor and treat eye conditions?

Futurum

Wearable sensors can be tailored to monitor a range of physical (e.g., They developed a ‘peeling technique’, whereby the electronic components are constructed on conventional fabrication substrates that can withstand high temperatures and corrosive chemicals but can then be thinly peeled off and transferred elsewhere.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Then for each function (or other construct in the language) there are pages that explain the function, with extensive examples. So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? Somewhere along the way we built out discrete calculus , asymptotic expansions and integral transforms. But even now there are still frontiers.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

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?
