Stephen Wolfram: Computation, Physics, Going Beyond "Evolution"
Update: 2025-09-16
Description
In this episode Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica and the Wolfram Language, discusses his view of the universe as a computational system. We examine computational irreducibility, discrete space, multi‑way evolution, and how observers shape physical laws from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics. Wolfram also connects his ideas to AI, biology and the emerging field of ruliology.
