This “Fractal Intelligence” stuff feels super Wolfram-like. Just as Wolfram argues that simple rules in cellular automata can create complex, intelligent patterns, Levin’s bioelectric networks show how cells and organs have their own built-in smarts and adaptability. Both are about how simple, foundational principles lead to sophisticated behaviour, challenging the old deterministic ways of thinking. It’s basically a fresh take on how complexity and intelligence arise, and could really shake up how we understand biology and systems in general.
- simiones 2y agoThat doesn't inspire confidence in Levin's research, if it were true. Wolfram's quixotic quest for a theory of everything is something basically only he believes in, with very little shot at doing anything worthwhile, at least for physics. I hope that Levin's notions are more likely to bear some fruit.
