The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

It’s yet another surprising construct that’s arisen from our Physics Project. And it’s one that I think has extremely deep implications—both in science and beyond. In the language of our Physics Project, it’s the ultimate limit of all rulial multiway systems. In many ways, the ruliad is a strange and profoundly abstract thing.

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. The theory of heat will hereafter form one of the most important branches of general physics. physics) in Glasgow—began to be curious about.

Numbers and networks: how can we use mathematics to assess the resilience of global supply chains?

Futurum

There are many branches of maths, including algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics. I took a physics class in high school and thought that might be a good application for my interests. However, when I got to college, I realized that what I loved about physics was the math, behind it. Turns out, I was wrong.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

And for example the concept of “temperature” is there because exponential distributions familiar from statistical physics happen to be being used, but there’s no “physical” connection—at least so far as we know.) In this particular case, we can use known laws of physics to work it out.

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

Stephen Wolfram

And there was something else: the computer system I’d built was a language that I’d realized (in a nod to my experience with reductionist physical science) would be the most powerful if it could be based on principles and primitives that were as minimal as possible.
