Bright Science is a free YouTube channel of over 1300 study videos for high schoolers (or precocious middle schoolers). Most are about five minutes (some longer, some shorter) and cover topics like chemistry, physics, calculus, geometry, biology, Algebra, trigonometry, grammar, ACT prep, and SAT prep.

But it also highlights how significant our specifics—our particular history, biology, etc.—are. Some of it seems intrinsic to our biological nature. For now, there’s a certain element of what we want to do that’s “anchored” by our biological nature. And in biology it shows up as some structure (ribosome, cell, wing, etc.)

The global structures of metamathematics , economics , linguistics and evolutionary biology seem likely to provide examples—and in each case we can expect that at the core is the ruliad, with its unique structure. And this is where our pieces of “falsifiable natural science” come in.

In early 1984 I visited MIT to use the machine to try to do what amounted to natural science, systematically studying 2D cellular automata. And then—in what must have been a very overstuffed first lecture—I launched into a discussion of “Possible origins of irreversibility”. What kinds of models could realistically be made for these?

But while this might be a convenient setup for biology, it’s not at all clear that it’s even close to the best way to achieve the functionality we need. Is there for example some kind of notion of “parallel transport” that would reflect “flatness” in the space? The key is the notion of attractors.

Already the steam-engine works our mines, impels our ships, excavates our ports and our rivers, forges iron, fashions wood, grinds grain, spins and weaves our cloths, transports the heaviest burdens, etc. He introduced the Boltzmann Transport Equation which allows one to compute at least certain non-equilibrium properties of gases.

Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal.
