Primer on Emergent Physics (ChatGPT as David Deutsch)

Emergent physics is one of the most fascinating domains of modern science. It is not merely about understanding the universe at its most fundamental level but about uncovering how the simple rules governing microscopic interactions give rise to the awe-inspiring complexity of the macroscopic world. Here, I provide an overview of emergent physics and relate it to theories like Assembly Theory and Constructal Theory, which address aspects of this profound problem.

Can Computation Create Math? (ChatGPT as Burgin/Youssuf Debate)

Welcome, everyone, to this special debate exploring the question: Can computation serve as the foundation for the kind of mathematics required by physics? Today, we are privileged to witness a non-rivalrous debate between two distinguished thinkers--Mark Burgin and Saul Youssef. They will present their models, offering alternative perspectives on how computation might underlie mathematical and physical truths.,

The Causon Manifesto, or Leibniz’s Revenge

As Leibniz envisioned, the ultimate nature of reality is not found in isolated objects but in the harmonious relationships between them. We believe the Causon Framework offers a new path to understanding this harmony, one rooted in the dynamics of causons and the properties of their links.

A Spirited Defense of Consciousness

Dear Scott, I finally found some deadlines to force me to put forward an account of consciousness. 🙂 Here it is. While rather simplistic, I have found it a useful model for clarifying my own thinking. The key innovation is defining Spirit as "the ability to reflect on our thoughts feelings and desires in order to... Continue Reading →

The Minion Machine

The Action of Complexity Draft 2, Ernest Prabhakar, 2013-08-07 Inspired by a proposal from Christy Warren The Premise Using concepts derived from physics such as Energy and Time, we can gain insight into the nature of computational complexity. The Goal Devise the simplest possible physical system that captures the aspects of computation relevant to complexity... Continue Reading →
