Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn the previous excerpt from my conversation with Stephen Wolfram, I asked him how I can remain a single, coherent, persistent consciousness in a branching universe. In this excerpt, we went deeper into this question. As a conscious observer, I have a single thread of experience. So if the universe branches into many timelines, why don’t I branch into many versions of me? Stephen’s answer touched on many profound aspects of the Wolfram model. He started with the failure of the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics to consider the possibility that different branches of history can merge , in other words, come back together again. This failure is rooted in assumption that the universe is continuous; as soon as we start thinking of the universe as discrete , such merging seems not only possible, but inevitable. He went on to consider the concept of causal invariance, the idea that it doesn’t matter which of countless similar paths you take through the multiway graph, you end up in the same place. In the Ruliad, he said, causal invariance is inevitable. Then we got to the core of the concept of the observer. According to Stephen Wolfram, an observer equivalences many different states and experiences the aggregate of these states. I did not expect Stephen’s next move, to apply the concept of aggregation not just to observers, but to the universe itself. He made the profound proposal that in the Wolfram model of physics, in addition to the computation of the hypergraph through the application of rules, there’s a process of aggregation of possible paths through the multiway graph to weave the future. — Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram The Wolfram Physics Project Wolfram Institute Wolfram Institute Community Discord Concepts mentioned by Stephen Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics Computational irreducibility Causal invariance The Ruliad Sequentialization Equivalencing — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery founder of Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWhen the universe branches, we branch with it. Those branches don’t remain forever apart. They come back together. So we, as conscious observers, are rescued from splitting into an immense number ever-so-slightly different versions of ourselves. When the branches of the universe – and the versions of ourselves – come back together, we don’t worry that the many paths we took to get there are ever-so-slightly different. We equivalence all those different paths. We treat all those ever-so-slightly different branches of history as if they were more-or-less the same. I asked Stephen Wolfram about this strangest of consequences of a branching universe. Through all this splitting and coming-back-together, how can I remain a single, coherent, persistent consciousness?

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIs everything that’s ever going to happen in the universe already determined? Or does something else – maybe randomness, maybe free will – play a role? Stephen Wolfram’s answer to this question is straightforward: the ruliad is fully determined. But there’s a twist. The ruliad is determined, but how we observe the evolution of the universe depends on where we are in the ruliad. In a fascinating introduction to the role of the observer in the Wolfram model, Stephen touches on some of the deepest philosophical questions in physics, finishing on one of the deepest: is there an objective reality? — Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram The Wolfram Physics Project Wolfram Institute Wolfram Institute Community Discord — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery founder of Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!

Stephen Wolfram reveals that his first major wow along the path towards a fundamental theory of physics was his realization that General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the same theory, played out in different kinds of space. Many other dominos have fallen along the way, from the derivation of Einstein’s equations to applications of the ruliad beyond physics. But the aspect of Wolfram Physics that Stephen Wolfram himself finds maybe the most compelling is this mirroring of the two pillars of twentieth century physics. Perhaps General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics aren’t as incompatible as they’ve so long seemed. In this first excerpt from my conversation with Stephen Wolfram, he tells the story of how he came to apply hypergraphs and hypergraph rewriting rules to the universe itself, and arrived at the first traces of a path towards what might be the last theory of physics. — Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram The Wolfram Physics Project Wolfram Institute Wolfram Institute Community Discord People mentioned by Stephen Max Piskunov Jonathan Gorard — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery , founder of Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!

Do you know what causality is? If you do, let me know, because I’m not sure. I’ve never come across a conception of causality that makes sense to me. After all, our universe seems to follow simple equations like Einstein’s equations, and there’s no mention of causality in these equations. It makes me think that there’s no such thing as causality. Unless... Well, here’s the thing. I’m no longer sure that our universe does follow these continuous equations. I’m beginning to think that at the smallest scale, our universe might evolve through discrete computations . If that turns out to be true, it allows for a limited conception of causality after all. It’s causality, Jim, but not as we know it. — References: Even the Catholic Church now concedes that the Earth orbits the Sun. Einstein’s equations tell you everything you need to know about how the Sun, the Earth and the various other conglomerations of matter in the vicinity warp space and time in such a way that the Earth follows its slightly wobbly elliptical orbit around the Sun.
