Leibniz: My friends, I thank you for entertaining this thought experiment. Let us set aside, for a moment, the comforting rigidity of determinism. Instead, I propose that the universe is not a machine driven solely by fixed laws but a tapestry woven of agency—an interplay of causes that act non-deterministically, yet with purpose.
“Indeed, the ability to treat code as data means we can dynamically construct and modify our models, adapting to new insights and requirements without overhauling our foundational framework.”
John Archibald Wheeler: The universe, as I’ve often said, is best understood through the lens of "It from Bit"—information at the root of reality. But how do discrete systems turn these bits into the smooth, continuous universe we observe? That’s the key challenge.
As you leave this chapter of your life and step into the next, remember: the CTMU shows us that life is not random. It is meaningful, structured, and full of potential. You have the tools to shape your destiny, to contribute to the coherence of the world, and to live a life of purpose.
Littoral Science, in merging the wet with the dry, the human with the machine, offers a more holistic, integrated approach to knowing—a new wave of inquiry for a complex, interconnected world.
Since the dawn of computer science, our understanding of computation has been shaped by mathematical theories, from Aristotle's logic to Turing's formalization of algorithms. Turing Machines, with their elegant abstraction of computation into discrete steps on an infinite tape, have become a cornerstone of computational theory. However, this mathematical approach, while powerful, lacks a crucial element: empirical testability.
