Wolframfs monumental best seller entitled A new kind of science was based almost entirely on brute-force computer simulations. In sharp contrast, this lecture presents a rigorous analytical theory based on attractors from a nonlinear dynamics perspective. New results and concepts to be presen ...
In his remarkable new book, Stephen Wolfram asserts that cellular automata operations underlie much of the real world. He even asserts that the entire Universe itself is a big cellular-automaton computer. But Ray Kurzweil challenges the ability of these ideas to fully explain the complexities of li ...
