I woke up to this but I’m sure I learned something after this.

I woke up to this playing. I hope my subconscious mind learned something 🙂

Fell asleep watching YouTube and this was playing when I woke up😅

why did autoplay bring me to a physics class

I just woke up to this I have no idea what's going on I learned nothing

I fell asleep to a Christmas tree coding video and woke up to algebra

I WOKE UP TO THIS

i dont understand a single thing discussed here

Thank you for posting.

Very nice presentation Professor Wolfram, thank's for the great content. I'm following the series on NKS and took a turn on chapter three to watch this video and that was really worthy. Kudos

Wolframs’ framework is indeed discrete, finite, and digital. He has matter, energy, space, time, emerging from underlying digital graphs. I read his “A new kind of Science” many years ago as I was using his Mathematica at the time. It wasn’t strange for me because it fitted in with my own thoughts as the Universe being a fabric of sorts, and of course, THOHAE. What I do find extraordinary, is that he’s now been able to derive relativity and quantum mechanics from this framework. Incredible! I mean, that’s a real WOW! Then, many years later, along comes our Patron Saint JBP and his “Field of Potential”. It’s all so beautifully the same. I maintain that’s why he resonated so much. Strange actually, he wrote MOM around the same time as SW wrote ANKOS, (and worked on it for just as long) but I’d never heard of him. My New Years wish would be for them to talk.

Woke up to this as well. It manifested in my sleep as a really long dream where I was back in a classroom and my highschool English teacher was explaining to us that information itself actually exists in its own space-time, or something very much like it, and that every time we associate one piece of information with another we're actually just curving the space-time analogue that information exists in. Absolutely wild.

i agree in the sense that our mathematics works and is a good tool for exploring the nature of things because it is created by the same physical processes as everything else -- as to what that process is and how directly it can be related to the observable, i'm still undecided

Why are these videos always playing when I wake up after falling asleep watching youtube?

Basically, I would call the abstraction of such a network a filter design. After a while trough the network you will find a path of lowest resistance between given by input and output. Maybe like a potential difference, say like in a circuit where the path is the least resistance in a conductor, or a flash in an ionized field in a thunderstorm, or the simplification of a complicated mathematical expression (which would be an ideal path compared to the physical phenomena which alway produce some jitter). I would also compare it to a slightly more complex form or different representation of a neural network, where multiple neurons form a functional group (like a cellular automaton). But I don't see any benefit in computational problems that still need to be serialized, even if we were talking about a complete filter frame (out of a series of frames = motion). Even if we hope that a single frame is available immediately, it will not be computationally feasible. Perhaps quantum computers would come into play here, but that again raises new problems such as statistical accuracy. If we knew all possible initializations in the filter structure (which would be needed to filter anything), we would need a consistent memory and feed it in somehow, which also takes time. (This would be comparable to storing the weights in a neural network) How are we supposed to describe the individual components nodes, connections, memory, clock (which would be frame and sub-frame cycles, which would actually work as binary counters, but...) only with binary patterns, if we use these cellular automata as a basis? This description, too, has to be stored in a memory that would then describe itself with itself. Isn't that a paradox?

Im pretty sure a lot of random people woke up with this still playing..

Long live King. Thank you Wolfram

Why am I living a Groundhog Day, but inside of waking up to "I Got You Babe" every morning, it's a physics video?

great video
