As the air rushes out of the balloon, it propels the balloon forward, vividly illustrating Newton’s Third Law of Motion – for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Additionally, it can introduce concepts like herb uses in cooking and medicine, linking biology with everyday life.

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

Stephen Wolfram

One of them is that one can expect to make something equally computationally sophisticated out of all sorts of different kinds of things—whether brain tissue or electronics, or some system in nature. But it also highlights how significant our specifics—our particular history, biology, etc.—are. It’s very much like with ChatGPT.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. The global structures of metamathematics , economics , linguistics and evolutionary biology seem likely to provide examples—and in each case we can expect that at the core is the ruliad, with its unique structure. For hypergraphs, it’s isomorphism.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

This proof is easily obtained, however, by the method which I am about to explain… (He gives a long footnote explaining why Maxwell might be wrong, talking about how a sequence of collisions might lead to a “cycle of velocity states”—which Maxwell hasn’t proved will be traversed with equal probability in each direction.

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

And if we’re going to make a “general theory of mathematics” a first step is to do something like we’d typically do in natural science, and try to “drill down” to find a uniform underlying model—or at least representation—for all of them. and at t steps gives a total number of rules equal to: &#10005. &#10005.
