it really is becoming more like an experimental science than a mathematical science.
it's become easier to make experiments instead of deducting things from first principles... What's really surprising, is that everything about the program is constructed from first principles!
It's kinda like if math became 'math archeology' i.e. imagine if maths were really about trying to understand clay tablets and papyrus writings in order to do calculations.

I mean I always believed that our deduction skills as humans were really limited and primitive. Just look at conveys game of life or any game as a matter of fact (chess?). The emergent properties of those games with few basic rules are so elusive that we need generations od geniuses to work on them to discover anyhthing beyond simplest things. How can we expect anything better when the rules gets really complex and fuzzy (as in real life)
