Beyond physics: applying the Wolfram model in biology, chemistry, mathematics with Jonathan Gorard

Video Description

In this final excerpt from our conversation in October 2022, Jonathan Gorard explains how ideas from Wolfram Physics can be applied in fields beyond physics, including biology, chemistry and mathematics. He describes the concept of compositionality, and digs deeper into why the hypergraph is able to model so much of our universe. — Jonathan Gorard • Jonathan Gorard at The Wolfram Physics Project https://www.wolframphysics.org/people/jonathan-gorard/ • Jonathan Gorard on Twitter https://twitter.com/getjonwithit • The Centre for Applied Compositionality http://www.appliedcompositionality.com/ • The Wolfram Physics Project https://www.wolframphysics.org/ Concepts mentioned by Jonathan: • General Relativity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity • Quantum Mechanics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics • Causal graphs https://www.wolframphysics.org/technical-introduction/the-updating-process-in-our-models/the-role-of-causal-graphs/ • Space-like separation https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Relativity/Spacetime_Physics_(Taylor_and_Wheeler)/06%3A_Regions_of_Spacetime/6.02%3A_Relation_Between_Events-_Timelike_Spacelike_or_Lightlike • Multiway system https://mathworld.wolfram.com/MultiwaySystem.html • Phase space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space • Schrödinger equation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation • Hilbert space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space • Kronecker product https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronecker_product • Multicomputation https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2021/09/multicomputation-a-fourth-paradigm-for-theoretical-science/ • Compositionality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_compositionality • Applied category theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_category_theory • Symmetric monoidal category https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_monoidal_category • Partial differential equations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation • Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermelo–Fraenkel_set_theory • Universal Turing machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Turing_machine • Computational universality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness • Cellular automaton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton • Ontology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology People mentioned by Jonathan: • Rudolph Carnap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Carnap • Vienna Circle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Circle — The Last Theory https://lasttheory.com/ is hosted by Mark Jeffery https://markjeffery.com/ founder of Open Web Mind https://www.openwebmind.com/ Prefer to listen to the audio?
