And at first I did so in the main scientific paradigm I knew : models based on mathematics and mathematical equations. But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1.

But at a personal and social level it was still always a lot of fun being around Ed and being exposed to his unique intense opportunistic energy—with its repeating themes but ever-changing directions. And there was one way in which Ed and I were very much aligned: both of our lives were deeply influenced by computers and computing.

And all I’ll be able to do here is give a snapshot of my current thinking—which will inevitably be incomplete—not least because, as I’ll discuss, trying to predict how history in an area like this will unfold is something that runs straight into an issue of basic science: the phenomenon of computational irreducibility.
