How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

Mathematics. And one of the stunningly beautiful things—at least for a physicist like me—is that the same phenomenon that in physical space gives us gravity, in branchial space gives us quantum mechanics. It’s because we’re observers like us that we perceive the laws of physics we do. These are all ways to formalize the world.
