Finding out how this process works – and how we can use this awareness to make better decisions – is at the heart of cognitive science. This is dangerous, because it means we are more likely to believe ‘simpler’ explanations over nuanced ones, and we fall back on our preconceptions rather than open up to new ideas. “We

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. How is it made?

An elaborate description of a wild idea. In the forty years I knew Ed Fredkin I heard countless wild ideas and colorful stories from him. But it also led him to the idea that the universe must be a giant cellular automaton—whose program he could invent. A long and colorful story. I’d politely ask for details.

The Second Law of thermodynamics is considered one of the great general principles of physical science. But back in the 1980s, as I began to explore the computational universe of simple programs, I discovered a fundamental phenomenon that was immediately reminiscent of the Second Law. But our Physics Project has changed that picture.

And, in keeping with the idea of voodoo, there’s a particular so-called “temperature” parameter that determines how often lower-ranked words will be used, and for essay generation, it turns out that a “temperature” of 0.8 seems best. So what can we do? Not really. Let’s take a more elaborate example.

One of the many surprising (and to me, unexpected) implications of our Physics Project is its suggestion of a very deep correspondence between the foundations of physics and mathematics.

But how can one get an intuition for what is initially the rather abstract idea of multicomputation ? But the idea of multicomputation provides a link.
