> In many ways, the ruliad is a strange and profoundly abstract thing. But it’s something very universal—a kind of ultimate limit of all abstraction and generalization. And it encapsulates not only all formal possibilities but also everything about our physical universe—and everything we experience can be thought of as sampling that part of the ruliad that corresponds to our particular way of perceiving and interpreting the universe.
Bear in mind this is merely a postulate, it isn't at all proven. It's our ability to make concrete predictions that's limited by what's computational, not necessarily the behavior of the universe itself. On a more pragmatic level however we don't really have any good ways to theorize about behaviors of creation that are uncomputable. Nonetheless, we know uncomputable functions exist so it's absurd to axiomatically rule out the possibility that there might be physical behaviors described by them. Perhaps all physical behaviors are and we're forever stuck with more or less congruent computable approximations?
- lupire 5y agoIf a physical behavior exists, why would its movement be unconmputable? we could use that proceas as the basis of computation. Uncomputable function only "exist" in our imagination as an implicaton of imagined axioms. There is no physical evidence for them.
