"But for computational systems... there’s my Principle of Computational Equivalence—which implies that all these systems are in a sense equivalent in the kinds of computations they can do." Am I missing this, or is he restating the Church-Turing thesis but taking credit for it himself?
I hope not. But Wolfram had been accused of this sort of thing before, see e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0206089 https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0206089
- meindnoch 4y agoIt is well-known that the Church-Turing thesis was inspired by Wolfram's seminal work The New Kind of Science.
