Ruliad + observer = physics ... also aliens
Description
The ruliad is every possible computation. What could you possibly say about such an enormous, all-encompassing object?
Well, that’s where we come in.
Particular observers sample the ruliad in particular ways.
Observers like us sample the ruliad in ways that give rise to physics as weknow it.
Ruliad + observer = physics.
In this excerpt from my conversation with Stephen Wolfram, he explores how physics, mathematics and biology all arise from this same enormous, all-encompassing object, the ruliad.
He gets to aliens, too, asking such provocative questions as how far from us in rulial space are the nearest aliens?
