@patrickc which is a good enough reason to start an implementation. :-) It may also be enough of a departure that it contains some new ideas11:31 AM May 17thfrom web
@patrickc One interesting idea is to have a computer language that's reversible all the way down. I'd be interested in this as physics...11:31 AM May 17thfrom web
@patrickc Like Newton, or Einstein. Personally, I think this is hugely detrimental to his projects. I want to work on a different CA system.11:30 AM May 17thfrom web
@patrickc unfortunately the man is brilliant, but he also seems to have evolved mechanisms to defend against forces keeping him in line.11:29 AM May 17thfrom web
@patrickc Wolfram has hurt himself considerably by the wide ranging superficial analysis of a plethora of fields: quantum mechanics, biology11:28 AM May 17thfrom web
@patrickc I would call this part of the call to computational science, however. Whether this is worth 1200 pages is another matter.11:27 AM May 17thfrom web
@patrickc this is to a large extent misguided: one can't embed complex phenomena in less powerful systems - one needs complexity11:26 AM May 17thfrom web
@patrickc in ANKS. So much of science consists in trying to find simple predictors of complex phenomena. Wolfram argues successfully that...11:25 AM May 17thfrom web
@patrickc The reaction against Wolfram is typically extreme, but he does overstate his case. However, there's an important change in view11:23 AM May 17thfrom web
The fact that Wolfram|Alpha has chemical thermodynamic data at different pressures/temperatures and Mathematica doesn't is driving me crazy.10:15 PM May 16thfrom web
