>Yet, as it turns out, biology cannot be reduced in the way that physics can. Genetics is a madman’s den of complexity, nonlinearity, and unpredictability. It’s almost literally what you would expect from a few million years of Perl snippets evolving. The same is true of neuroscience, meteorology, sociology, and, to a lesser degree, chemistry. I would say that we cannot to sufficient degree today (the 0 to 1) that people are expecting from the endless hype, but the mathematics used to describe/locate/correlate brain activity (LCMV beamforming + DSP + MCMC priors), and speeding of the design process of molten salts are getting a lot better/more accessible over time (relying on mathematics from local spin density approximations + gradient density correction theories + UNIFAC).
