A major theme of my work since the early 1980s had been exploring the consequences of simple computational rules. Could it be that at a fundamental level our whole universe is just following some simple computational rule ? And at first I couldn’t see how computational rules could connect to what is known in physics.

Introducing Astro Computation. Astronomy has been a driving force for computation for more than 2000 years (from the Antikythera device on)… and in Version 13.2 But what’s new now is astronomical computation fully integrated into the system.

We can think of the ruliad as the entangled limit of all possible computations—or in effect a representation of all possible formal processes. Many of these consequences are incredibly complicated, and full of computational irreducibility. But now we can make a bridge to mathematics. So is something similar happening with mathematics?
