How does complexity emerge from simplicity? In this interview, Stephen Wolfram explores the concept of universal computation and how simple rules can generate intricate, seemingly random patterns. This perspective challenges traditional views of complexity in physics, biology, and beyond, revealing deep insights into the computational universe.
From the foundations of cellular automata to the discovery of surprising patterns in nature, Wolfram shows how computation reshapes our understanding of reality and revolutionizes the way we think about science.
