Are there ‘rules’ for conveying emotion through art?

Futurum

Published: While art and science are often separated in academia, there is a lot to be learnt by considering them together. However, the skills learnt from subjects such as mathematics and physics are everlasting and applicable to many different fields. Are there ‘rules’ for conveying emotion through art?

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

Stephen Wolfram

This is the first of a series of pieces I’m planning in connection with the upcoming 20th anniversary of the publication of A New Kind of Science. “There’s a Whole New Field to Build…” For me the story began nearly 50 years ago —with what I saw as a great and fundamental mystery of science. Mathematical physics.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

So now it’s natural to wonder: How far will this go? My goal here is to explore some of the science, technology—and philosophy—of what we can expect from AIs. And in the phenomenon of computational irreducibility science is in effect “deriving its own limitedness”. What will AIs be able to do? And how will we humans fit in?

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

Stephen Wolfram

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. But by the mid-1600s the idea was emerging that there could be more explicit and mechanical explanations for phenomena in the natural world.
