Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

And at first I did so in the main scientific paradigm I knew : models based on mathematics and mathematical equations. From mathematics. Mathematical physics. By the late 1970s, though, there were other initiatives emerging, particularly coming from mathematics and mathematical physics. Synergetics.

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

Presumably it’s that we can sample space without having to think about time, or in other words, that we can consistently construct a stable notion of space. Fast numbers-based ways to do particular computations are often viewed as representing “ exact solutions ” to corresponding mathematical problems. Why are they so prevalent there?
