The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

And—it should be said at the outset—we’re still only at the very beginning of nailing down those technical details and setting up the difficult mathematics and formalism they involve.) Mathematically this can be thought of as being like decomposing the ruliad structure in terms of fibrations and foliations.). The View from Mathematics.
