The Last Theory Podcast
1) Think like an alien with Stephen Wolfram
Different observers, from different regions of the ruliad, experience the universe in different ways.To what extent can these different observers communicate their different experiences?Can dogs, with...Show More
2) Ruliad + observer = physics ... also aliens
The ruliad is every possible computation. What could you possibly say about such an enormous, all-encompassing object?Well, that’s where we come in.Particular observers sample the ruliad in particular...Show More
3) How to simplify the causal graph
The hypergraphs generated by Wolfram Physics are complex and chaotic.The multiway graphs that trace every possible evolution of these hypergraphs become extremely complex and extremely chaotic after o...Show More
4) Where's Mark?
It’s been a while since my last episode of The Last Theory or Open Web Mind.Where am I?It might look like I’m lazing in the sun, but actually I’ve been working hard.For The Last Theory, I’ve been work...Show More
5) Black holes in the hypergraph with Stephen Wolfram
Electrons may be tiny black holes propagating through the hypergraph.After all, electrons and black holes have much in common: they’re carriers of pure motion, they’re all the same – from the outside,...Show More
6) The causal graph is objective reality
The multiway graph shows every possible evolution of the universe.So, if we can compute every possible reality, does that mean that there’s no single objective reality?Well, the causal graph, it turns...Show More
7) Stephen Wolfram on AI, human-like minds & formal knowledge
In this fascinating exposition, Stephen Wolfram connects two of the most important breakthroughs of our time: AI and the ruliad.I ask Stephen how he thinks about knowledge hypergraphs, which I’m explo...Show More
8) Multiway minds with Stephen Wolfram
Can you hold in your mind two different threads of experience?In this five-minute excerpt from my conversation with Stephen Wolfram, he introduces the strange idea of a multiway mind.Most of the time,...Show More
9) Do fields exist?
Fields don’t exist.I mean, a field with grass in it, that kind of field does exist.But a field in physics?A gravitational field? An electric field? A magnetic field? A quantum field?No such thing.I’m ...Show More
10) Aggregation – how the Wolfram model weaves the future – with Stephen Wolfram
In the previous excerpt from my conversation with Stephen Wolfram, I asked him how I can remain a single, coherent, persistent consciousness in a branching universe.In this excerpt, we went deeper int...Show More
