Expression Evaluation and Fundamental Physics

Stephen Wolfram

And it’s all based on ideas from our Physics Project —and on a fundamental correspondence between what’s happening at the lowest level in all physical processes and in expression evaluation. And this is where we can start making an analogy with physics. And now there’s a deep analogy to physics.

How To Make Someone Not Hate Math

ED Surge

A respected math teacher at a K-12 public charter school in Apple Valley, California, Holifield was in steep physical decline. Reflecting on my own self-identification, I had a vague sense it had something to do with Holifield’s Algebra II class, which I took in ninth grade. She had taken Algebra I, Algebra II and calculus with him.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models.

How to Master Math Wooden Manipulatives Get Your High Score

STEM Education Shopping

By physically manipulating these blocks, you can practice counting, addition, and subtraction. By placing them side by side, you can physically see that when you combine 2 and 3, you get 5. By physically removing the blocks, you can see how the quantity decreases, reinforcing the concept of subtraction.

Observer Theory

Stephen Wolfram

But what we’ve discovered particularly dramatically in our Physics Project is that the nature of us as observers is critical even in determining the most fundamental laws we attribute to the universe. But the notion of observers—and observer theory—isn’t limited purely to “physical observers”.

Five Most Productive Years: What Happened and What’s Next

Stephen Wolfram

I had begun my career in the 1970s as a teenager studying the frontiers of existing physics. And at first I couldn’t see how computational rules could connect to what is known in physics. But I didn’t stop thinking “one day I need to get back to my physics project”. But now with the Physics Project I was doing this.
