Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT

Stephen Wolfram

It happened with our Physics Project in 2020. I myself have been deeply involved with the computational paradigm for many decades, in the singular pursuit of building a computational language to represent as many things in the world as possible in formal symbolic ways. ChatGPT and Wolfram|Alpha. I think about things as a human.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics 2. 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”. How Did We Get Here?

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

Think of it as the entangled limit of everything that is computationally possible: the result of following all possible computational rules in all possible ways. 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.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

We’ve worked very hard to make its design as clean and coherent as possible—and to make it a timeless way to elegantly represent computation and everything that can be described through it. Last Friday I fired up Version 1 on an old Mac SE/30 computer (with 2.5 Last Friday I fired up Version 1 on an old Mac SE/30 computer (with 2.5

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

Stephen Wolfram

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.

Games and Puzzles as Multicomputational Systems

Stephen Wolfram

Multicomputation is one of the core ideas of the Wolfram Physics Project —and in particular is at the heart of our emerging understanding of quantum mechanics. In an ordinary computational system each state of the system has a unique successor, and ultimately there is a single thread of time that defines a process of computation.
