"Soap bubbles are computational so everything is computational." Wait, what? So get a wood panel, put a few pegs on it, submerge it in soapy water and then slowly raise it from the water. The soap film that forms between the pegs wants to minimize its surface area (to maximize its energy) so it forms a Steiner tree beteween the pegs, but .. not always! https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=1720 https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=1720 https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=122 https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=122 > solipsism feels like Yes, exactly, yet it's unfalsifiable.
