      I do thank you for publicly reminding / pointing towards Fredkin as he is one of the many unsung heroes of computer science. So to anyone who happens comes across this little rap: It's well worth reading anything Fredkin has ever written and listening to any lecture / interview possible to find.
      If you haven't had the opportunity to read Wolframs "A New Kind of Science" yet it's also an amazing work. At lest worth the read if you can find it at a library. Then one can decide for oneself wether it's worth the money (spoiler, I think it is def worth the 36 bucks i paid for it an adlibris). No other work I've come across captures the interesting nature of automatas quite like this book.
      Not to make too big of a joke about it, but I find it kind of silly to suggest that a fraudster would put that amount of time and effort behind anything of this magnitude. I mean - if, for example, money was the end game here - don't you think there'd be waaaaay easier ways to get rich than trying to find a solid ToE?

      @Peter Lustig - I think the algorithm is the same as the graph, this is something he should explain better to non-initiates though. But my understanding is that the idea is that each "dot" carries the algorithm, such as {A > BBB, BB > A} in the character string example they sometimes use. It'd be nice if we could see better how that intrinsical algorithm relates to physical fundamentals anyhow, that's a part I still haven't grasped well, only very generically and intuitively, what is clearly not enough.

    I'm not a physicist by any means but my curiosity has led me here after reading the memo. I'm not sure if this is already covered in the broader materials but the two-slit experiment may be a great example of this for the average enthusiast :
    - develop a sample rule to build space
    - illustrate how light occupies that space in discrete time steps spreading out leading to the wave pattern
    - show how the impact of "quantum measurement" by an observer can "freeze time" in a quantum frame leading to the slit pattern

    Must say, I'm very impressed by humble Stephen Wolfram!
    What ever happens, if this project is leading to the unified theory or not, he is much more an inspiration than the typical physicist who is more concerned to appear as scientist, mostly by producing minor stuff which then gets blown big, who is mainly concerned of having a nice career, a nice pension, unearned reputation and not to bring physics to a new level. It's not only a waste of money also of creativity and a missed contributions to society which finances them.
    Think Wolfram is driven by a childlike interest, not mainly speculating to get a Nobel Prize some day. Being interested in physics since a long time, I started to detect an immense void inside the nothingness-loudspeakers in physics, who appeared ever more as emperors with no cloth, as uninspired pea counters, not having achieved much I'd say in the last 50 years, Krauss, Tyson, Carroll etc. Whereas ordinary people get impressed by some equations and complexity-talk, then putting these loudspeakers on high pedestals they don't deserve, I felt a rising skepticism towards such pretenders. We see lots of blinders in public with their nothing's. Shallow thinkers wanting to appear as new Einsteins.
    I think Wolfram is different here, smart, humble, interest driven, and if someone I know has the substance to expand Einsteins physics, its probably him and not the army of pea counters of orthodoxies.

    3:38:10 @Wolfram wow, that is a once in a generation intellectual achievement. One comment. You don't have to bake the forward direction of the update rule into your assumptions. Causal edges can indicate that two states are causally consistent, but transitions can be bidirectional. That corresponds to the microscopic time symmetry in physics. The arrow of time arises statistically because the graph is tapered at one end and wide at the other. We are big subgraphs and we drift to what we call later time because there are more causal edges leading there. That also answers why the initial condition was simple: It doesn't need to be, the causal adjacency graph tapers at one end, that we call the past, and fans out the other end that we call the future, regardless where you start. The 2nd law of thermodynamics is derived from conservation of information. The simplest graph causally consistent in the past is the big bang and the irreducible information content of the universe. The 2nd law says that states become larger and larger by iterating the causal rule, but no new information is added. There's a bit more proof and formalism to add, so I'll join and express this fully.

    This is genius, and honestly the most logical explanation of the universe I have ever heard, combining the multiverse, the quantum, and the classical in a way that corresponds to the observer and attempts to explain the inherent branching of the universe, of which we are very minor but explicit segments within the orders of magnitude, but describable as an event beginning with simple principles, suggesting once again that the universe is being simulated by a very sophisticated computer running very specific generative code. If time is quantifiable at a specific smallest unit, then time might only appear to progress at a “slow" rate because we observe it, but in relative terms, a very sophisticated computer could compute the universe in “seconds" and make its conclusions in the blink of a higher dimensional being’s “eyes”. I wonder how the rules illustrated would appear if simulated holographically.

    Black holes can't be pieces that gets separeted from the main piece because that means they are no longer affecting the universe. If that would happen in real, this would just be desapearing matter and space, which is not the case.
    I think that the phenomena that would describe a black hole, in my current understanding of your theory, is a big set of nodes that begins to indefenitely attract every other nodes around them and begin to form an area with dimension converging to infinity so everything gets lost inside that big piece of space and matter and there are so many dimensions and so many dimensions begin to be immitated that nothing finds a way to get outside of that area. Too many directions will lead to the middle of that giant piece so everything moving randomly gets to the middle, but not kinda the middle at the same time.

    1:37:45 Re: Black holes and spaghettification, does this have bear on why, in exceptionally large black holes, spaghettification does/should not occur? In other words, is there a model using these edges that can account for the different effects the properties of the black holes(eg size, mass, etc) have on observersations of nearby objects (like freezing, spaghettification etc.)?

      The only thing I am uncomfortable with is Theoretical Physics as a word, it is a n oxymoron. This discipline is very interesting from an applicative point of vie, but I would call it immaterial science, because physics is absolutely not involved at any level, it's quite the contrary, it's also a wild claim to attach those mathematical concept to an universe we cannot explore.
      He keeps losing me when he, or anyone else, extrapolates this intellectual exercise to the universe.
      As much as all this requires intelligence to develop, jumping to correlations with stuff we can't empirically prove would have been considered a wild claim in pre-Ensteininan science.

The ideas presented here are astonishing and Stephen's way of presenting them is outstanding in terms of clarity and coherence. As of Jonathan and Max, although I haven't heard about them until now, obviously they have to be in the same ball park of geniality in order to be part of the team. Right now I'm so impressed an also inspired by this project.

    55:00 "energy is the flux of causal edges through space like hypersurfaces". Since we start with only 1 causal edge and as time passes me have more and more causal edges. Does this mean that the energy of the system continuously increase over time?

    • @Fallingmonsters
      @Fallingmonsters 4 роки тому

      This question leads to interesting considerations, thank you. My understanding is only rudimentary, but generally as the edges increase, this so-called "flux" may change both in quality and, as mentioned, in quantity, with respect to causal edge increase, the question being: though increasing in count number, are the properties of these causal edges such that this flux either: (A) stays the same, "on the whole"* (within the system); or, (B) does it, in fact, change? (Leading, of course, to interesting interactions with the known laws of Thermodynamics.)
      *This, of course, leads to a nice question of how this "system" should be defined/
      Again, I am in the process of delving into the computational and even mathematical structure of these particularities and thank you for the framing of your question.

    • @josy26
      @josy26 4 роки тому +3

      From the website, chapter 8.8: "We should note that with our identification for energy and momentum, the conservation of energy becomes essentially the statement that the overall density of events in the causal network does not change as we progress through successive spacelike surfaces. And, as we will discuss later, if in effect the whole hypergraph is in some kind of dynamic equilibrium, then we can reasonably expect that this will be the case. Expansion (or, more specifically, non-uniform expansion) will lead to effective violations of energy conservation, much as it does for an expanding universe in the traditional formalism of general relativity [117][75]."
      So apparently the first causal edge will contain all the energy that will ever exist and it will subsequently be divided with each step along the causal graph.

    i stumbeld on this and just listened to it all. i have to say it just makes sense. the beauty of this graphc theory (is it called like that?) is that it starts with an beginning. it could be used to describe the universe.
    i love the way of thinking, which is deterministic.
    to find the "right" rules is probably impossible. and if there is our universe, there may be anything else too. but finding subsets of possible "universes" with some functional simularities could be enlightning.
    its something that will become bigger, as computer and ais evolve. you will need some sort of ais to search for interesting graphcs. crazy and fascinating

    • @EudaderurScheiss

      one thing that may be wrong: the update step time itself is not our time. time itself must be part of the graphs theory (if i understood correctly). so space and time may be an expression of a graph, that described a graph. though that may be wrong

    1:36:53 when try to make a qubit you are freezing it in order to prevent its relation from the surrounding universe. Got it. In a sense we are not capable yet, of cut off such relation, if we do so, then a black hole will be generated. My question is, if a we can’t prevent a qubit's relation from the surrounding universe then, quantum computing will always work with a particle in at least a two-state indeterminancy?

    Computational equivalence made me not care about specific rule, but rather, think how a UTM-equivalent simple rule can arise from nothingness.
    However, discovering the model of our particular universe would mean a lot for our predictive power, and mining the space of computational universes in general may result in useful models for the various phenomena in our own universe. It's exciting to imagine, that we eventually come to use experiences and ideas from alternate universes, to our own one.

    Are there rules that generate Lie groups? And how does the work of Mandelbrot relate to how these hyper graphs develop from the perspective of the distribution of observable patterns? I’m struck by how you see a lot of similarity to biological structures. Similarly, Fibonacci has emergent qualities where we see a proliferation of patterns in systems as diverse as shapes of galaxies and cross sections of snail shells. Is this simply a quality of naturally generated geometry?

    An Amateur approach at Undergraduate level is based primarily on basic experience, (a bit of Newtonian Agricultural experience), and Introductory Courses, so immediately, this endeavor is begun at higher, (Mezzanine?), levels of qualifications.
    Undergraduate preparations and Philosophical Orientation are usually asserted (by qualified Professors) in the manner in which it is intended to be completed, in the first few weeks of University, because the really effective Research and re-view of Science and Methodology begins at PhD levels. (Not Amateur except as it applies to relevant Commentary, ..of the kind Newton devised and developed and practiced, for himself, thinking for himself.., no UA-cam, Google, or alternative psychological/medical sources etc)
    Newton had every reason to be ruled by fear of chaos, so the search for permanent reliability in a metastable environment and culture seems like enough motivation to explain his actions, if not the totality of his achievements.
    So if by communication/commentary, ..on the equivalence of temporal Superposition-point Singularity positioning, in relation to The Calculus, ..natural verisimilitude due to the sustained metastable sum-of-all-histories,
    ..wave-package probability in potential possibilities of e-Pi-i interference positioning resonance imaging function,
    ..cause-effect of holographic existence..,
    is at least a comprehensible orientation to conscious awareness of observable phenomena here-now-forever,
    ..and then the methodology of Math-Phys-Chem and Geometry in rational and reasonable statement of approach / position..,
    .. is placed in the related student-level, QM-TIMESPACE Principle In-form-ation Math-phys Chem format of Geometrically superimposed resonances, context.

    You had me until 1:16:00 . How does observing a quantum particle relate to freezing time? From the graph it seems that the effect of the observation propagates at the speed of light, which is true in a strict sense, but I don't see how it addresses the fact that observing entangled particles gives you information about the partner in a distant location. The only way I can make sense of this is if in fact the quantum particle is frozen in its starting state, then once it is forced into another state by observation, in that moment all the intermediate steps occur all at once. This would partially explain interference with causal invariance, but I don't see how it explains the seeming random distribution over all possible final states.

    • @LuisAldamiz
      @LuisAldamiz 3 роки тому

      No idea, my own (tentative) explanation is pre-Wolfram and it implies that the QE and DCQE experiments would have different results for massive particles such as electrons (not done yet AFAIK) than for photons. This is because in GR photons "experience" no proper space-time (they are everywhere every time in their trajectory, also in the past), however massive particles do have some proper space-time and thus should collapse at some well-gauged time or distance for a properly designed experiment.
