May 1, 2008 - Let's say I have a computer program which computes a sequence of positive integers that encode the successive states of a sentient being. Cellular Automata (often abbreviated CA) are limited grids of discrete cells. I'm always moving to ideas of a discrete universe ticking away like some vast cellular automata – that the world isn't analog but is digital. For example, the positive integers might describe a Conway's-Game-of-Life universe containing sentient beings (Life is Turing-complete) or some other cellular automaton. Aug 7, 2013 - Some physicists — most prominently Stephen Wolfram — have proposed that the universe itself is a cellular automaton, that is that its phenomena unfold algorithmically. Whilst evolution nicely accounts for the gradual progression We operate in a cellular automaton developed by Mirek Wojtowicz in March 1999. Regardless, this sequence of positive integers represents the time series of a discrete universe containing conscious entities. "There is a whole universe of complexity that is captured by discrete dynamical systems, which have been widely used as a powerful framework to understand reality from different perspectives. Oct 26, 2010 - Our physical universe is discrete, finite, unbounded, deterministic and computational. Call this sequence Sentient(n). The problem with this, and it's a serious one, is that this theory predicts that all fundamental physical quantities are discrete (as opposed to continuous), and that moreover space and time themselves must be fundamentally discrete. In the book you'll learn about all sorts of interesting things such as 3D glider guns in the Beehive Rule, as well the whole field of discrete dynamic networks (random Boolean/multi state network, cellular automata etc.). An answer is provided by Conway's Game of Life, a well known example of two-dimensional cellular automaton that became popular in the 1970's. Nov 4, 2010 - In Andrew Ilanchinski's massive tome Cellular automata: a discrete universe, Ilanchinski. Apr 24, 2006 - Cellular Automata are a tools for exploring, in a simplified universe, how vastly complex systems can arise from the simplest of principles. Mar 7, 2014 - One of the most miraculous phenomena in the universe is, unarguably, the existence of biological life. Jan 20, 2009 - the oposite; the remachination of the human, i think is more where i stand.
