For about three centuries it seemed as if mathematical equations were the ultimate way to describe the natural world—but in the past few decades , and particularly poignantly with our recent Physics Project , it’s become clear that simple programs are in general a more powerful approach.) So what’s left?

And as part of that, I was curious what kinds of patterns people had in fact constructed from rules, for art or otherwise. What about systems that adapt or learn? What about the foundations of mathematics? &#10005. What about systems based on constraints? What about biological evolution? What about fundamental physics?
