  >> Wolfram Alpha is a symbolic computation engine. That's a great piece of technology to have when you are trying to get machines to understand humans. The reason Resin is not a symbolic computation engine is because that model hasn't been designed yet. Luckily Resin is a vector space framework that you can use to nest spaces together or transform into new spaces. Building on Resins capabilities for creating models from any 64-bit embedding I'm not quite sure if there is anything Resin cannot model.

    Yeah, but, come on. Isn’t this oversimplifying? “My computer uses bits. That means anything you can make out of bits can run on my computer.” It’s true but essentially vacuous. The value is/includes these difficult-to-build technologies, so the mere fact they could be included isn’t so meaningful and doesn’t add much value.

      Sure, but I was not trying to bluff you. Instead I was trying to describe to you a crucial point that is missing from the project's documentation (where I mostly describe the NLP engine) and that is that Resin at its core is a tool for designing such complex models as symbolic computation. But I hear you. Resin is not Wolfram but more of a framework that you can use to produce something like Wolfram.
