For me, computation would be a dealing strategy or another language to allow as to deal with problems. We can compute natural phenomena and create models in some extend but this doesn’t mean we can compute everything. This could only be a tool for understanding or looking things. | For me, computation would be a dealing strategy or another language to allow as to deal with problems.

The idea of simple algorithms generating complex structures is very similar to compression algorithms. All the models and abstractions can be seen as compression algorithm. | The idea of simple algorithms generating complex structures is very similar to compression algorithms. All the models and abstractions can be seen as compression algorithm. It compress a general structure into a simple fascinating rule. Every abstraction, at the same time, reject something about reality. Just like simulation allegory in Borges tale; they tried to draw the best map for the Empire and draw up a map so detailed that it ends up exactly covering the territory. If the map doesnt cover the territory then it has to ignore something. | ||
