By “universe that contains us” are you referring to the models of the world that we create?

I think maybe this sheds light on what he's saying? From a talk of his years ago. I think he's implying that the tackling is a kind of expansion outwards, a rebellion against the external or imposed disorder by extending outwards its domain of order or autopoietic dominion.

Concepts of Simplexity and complicity (Jack Cohen, Ian Stewart) seem relevant here, but I'm no mathematician or biologist.

This is obviously true at some level of detail. I just doubt that it is true at the lowest, near Planck length, levels.

Is there a specific algorithm that generates the math that Pascal's triangle does? (Making all possible combinations, in a logical, and random, way.) I think this will be the ultimate way to categorize everything, for universal language, and sorting, and relationships.

Which simple mathematics? Optimization, statistics, expected utility theory. None is simple but networks. Networks are the only correct ingredient so far.

There’s a lot we don’t know about those cells from their biochemistry to evolution. It’s far from “simple” for us to understand so I doubt will be easy for AI either. https://xkcd.com/793/ pic.twitter.com/MT677URi4G

Possibly the most valuable education I've had was reading (a good chunk of)
@stephen_wolfram's New Kind of Science book, where I saw how simple math can lead to infinite complexity in a system. Evolution (and I believe entropy) has simple math, generating stunning complexity.

And yet, for most of history, human experience has very limited access to mathematics. Only simple arithmetic is intuitive to most people, and some cultures lack any real concept of numbers still. How does a machine learn to forget?
