Today’s article is inspired by a question Karen Wong asked me recently: “Where’s the computer that runs the universe?”

Karen invited me to talk about Wolfram Physics on her YouTube channel The Meaning Code. We also delved into one of my other projects, the Open Web Mind.

You can watch my wonderfully wide-ranging conversation with Karen here.

I’ll be following up on today’s article with further discussion of these philosophical questions, including the question of whether we’re living in a simulation.

Next time, however, I’ll be returning to the concept of space in Wolfram Physics, and how to measure the dimensionality of the graph.

Enjoy!

Mark
