I realize this blog post is the most 'psychedelic' up to now and for long time to go, but some 'poetry' never really hurts ... </p> <p>We discussed already the worldmaker effectoring [3]. </p> <p>It is quite ancient but also exponentially growing business ... in all possible forms of science [4], faith [5] and art [6]. This modeling [7] usually serves to play out what's possible and what's impossible. Gedanken eksperiment [8], yeah, but isn't all thought [9] merely algorithmic [10] and mere action [11] ? </p> <p>Usually the posited universes are made of variations and combinations of substance/matter, structure/form and action/process rules. Though, the algorithmic component is always the essential ingredient. Yes, the Laws of Physics are full-fledged, literal algo [12], too. I have those conjectures that it is impossible to think out, make or discover (which is one and a same thing) a lifeless universe [13] and that substance-structure-action are inexctricable, but these are separate topic for some other times to address [14].</p> <p>Lets put together ours toy-universe [15] out of only pure algorithm. I've never seen such a construct, although the Orbis Tertius [14] is enormous and I bet this vision have occurred gazillions of time in zillions of minds. </p> <p>It is like an ocean. The primary coin-toss algo which outputs 0s and 1s [16] makes the water. We don't know (yet) if there are even deeper and more fundamental numerical bases [17] for running algos. Most probably the answer is yes by analogy with the Dirac Sea [18] - the deeps to be made of simpler and weaker algos. The most elementary coin-toss thing makes out the ... probabilistics, perhaps the primordial form of logic. The laws of physics (and of machine learning [19] and of darwinian evo algo [20] ...) tell the rule-set how to stitch together lotsa coin-toss outputs. A hint on inspiration for that - David Deutsch's Constructor theories [21]. The laws of physics as entropy [22] limitation of the allowed elementary algo cumulative output. For information being a verb, not a noun - isn't it? Very interested philosophic perspective on algorithm as randomness constrictor [23] raise up... </p> <p>So, if the Algoverse ocean water is made of elementary coin-toss molecules, being ''liquid'' is just another phase or aggregate state [24]. </p> <p>There is deep duality [25] between probabilistics and logic. Just like the zoo of dualities discovered in accelerating pace by the mathematical physics in the last decades [26] Probability/statistics we make now by logic [27], the reverse ... - well, nobody yet cracked it. Even Kolmogorov. But I bet we will. Most probably the breakthrough will be Ohad Asor name-labeled... To find the know-how to do it the other way round, do logic with probability/statistics. The statistical algorithmic - not the SAT [28], brute force, alchemist [29] way as with NN/ML [19], [30] and other known beasts. This will be nothing less but full merger of maths/logic/philosophy/thought... and physics. Literally! </p> <p>Excuse me for the haiku [31] simplification. It is deliberate due to realization of my grok constraints. :) Regard it as sharing a poetic impression. </p> <p>Is there deeper and weaker algo than the digital - the radix-2, deterministic, unitary one? Intuition says ''yes, of course!'' Like with these radix-1 Half-coins [32] of negative and other non-unitary probabilities ... which take two tosses to yield a bit... and there must be transfinity [33] of lower ones, also transfinities of higher and <em>sideways </em>ones ... which is almost as counter-intuitive as Dirac's bottomless night of negative energy [18], but I bet also as much useful. (Lets not even touch numeral bases of Pi, i, e ... etc.), and lets stick to strictly binary 'water' for our oceanic toy-universe for the sake of sanity. </p> <p>The next important notion of the Algoverse ocenic model is the Algorightmic strength [34] - the weakest algo would be that which takes infinity of tosses to get a full bit. The strongest? </p> <p>Algorithmic ephimeralization [35] - essentially to do more with less. Or faster - Speed Prior [36] ... which is just another way to say 'more'. </p> <p>Some algos are too strong - QM, M-Theory - they return way too much bits per 'toss'. Their vcdim [37] converges to infinity. Exponential walls [38] in all directions. Not exactly what Freeman Dyson had in mind [39]... In our ''mockup'' they could be depicted as too hot. Changing the phase of the elementary algo 'water'. Like.: </p> <p><img src="http://www.bombsoverbikini.com/images/Baker-330.jpg"/><img src="https://www.atomicheritage.org/sites/default/files/Baker%20Explosion.jpg" width="763" height="600"/></p> <p>but because we are all for peaceful use of algorithmic energy - we reject those up here, too - together with the non-unitary statistics down there. </p> <p>Last piece of the picture - the Algoverse ocean is habitable and inhabited! </p> <p>By higher algos as life-forms, stronger - but not so strong to turn the 'water' into roaring steam or plasma. </p> <p>Examples: Calculi [40], geometries, algebras ... software [41]. The genetic inter-algo connection should be that calculus came from Leibniz and Newton and numerous unknown others ... heads, but it is the blind watchmaker [42] of evolution which put those heads together ... (I disagree with Dawkins only on that evolution and design are both algorithms, alternatives but not opposition). </p> <p>Thus entropically [43] and combinatorially [44] algos kinda-sorta come from one another - the stronger from the weaker. </p> <p>The stronger are the life-forms living in that ocean. Cause randomness [45] permeates everything, isn't it? </p> <p><img src="http://sailawayportdouglas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/GBRMPA.jpg" width="1140" height="500"/></p> <p>Not so far-fetched of a metaphor given the fact that any Effector-ing [3] has totally algorithmic nature and essence. </p> <p>I wonder: </p> <p><em><strong>How much higher 'life form' Tauchain in the Algoverse ocean is? </strong></em></p> <p><em><strong>Is it mere life form or ... life, new organizing principle to reform all the system? </strong></em></p> <h3>References: </h3> <ul> <li>[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe_(mathematics)</li> <li>[2] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldbuilding</li> <li>[3] - https://steemit.com/tauchain/@karov/tauchain-over-de-latil</li> <li>[4] - http://cerncourier.com/cws/article/cern/39155</li> <li>[5] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_to_come</li> <li>[6] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction</li> <li>[7] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_modelling</li> <li>[8] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment </li> <li>[9] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought</li> <li>[10] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm</li> <li>[11] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Broglie#Hidden_thermodynamics</li> <li>[12] - https://www.sott.net/article/301611-Living-in-the-Matrix-Physicist-finds-computer-code-embedded-in-string-theory</li> <li>[13] - http://www.bigear.org/CSMO/HTML/CS02/cs02p35.htm</li> <li>[14] - https://steemit.com/tauchain/@karov/tauchain-the-hanson-engine</li> <li>[15] - http://www.science20.com/hammock_physicist/limits_science_god_godel_gravity</li> <li>[16] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number</li> <li>[17] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix</li> <li>[18] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_sea</li> <li>[19] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning</li> <li>[20] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution</li> <li>[21] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_theory & http://constructortheory.org/</li> <li>[22] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_information</li> <li>[23] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrictor_knot </li> <li>[24] - https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-aim-to-classify-all-possible-phases-of-matter-20180103/</li> <li>[25] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry</li> <li>[26] - https://www.quantamagazine.org/edward-witten-ponders-the-nature-of-reality-20171128/</li> <li>[27] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_axioms </li> <li>[28] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem</li> <li>[29] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy</li> <li>[30] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_networks</li> <li>[31] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku</li> <li>[32] - http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.592.2043</li> <li>[33] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfinite_number</li> <li>[34] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_cryptography#Cryptographically_strong_algorithms</li> <li>[35] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeralization</li> <li>[36] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_prior</li> <li>[37] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VC_dimension</li> <li>[38] - http://slideplayer.com/slide/9744818/</li> <li>[39] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_in_All_Directions</li> <li>[40] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus</li> <li>[41] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software</li> <li>[42] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blind_Watchmaker</li> <li>[43] - http://www.science20.com/the_hammock_physicist/immortal_unbounded_universe-134704 & http://www.science20.com/train_thought/blog/entropy_not_disorder-75081</li> <li>[44] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_explosion</li> <li>[45] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness</li> <li>[*] main theme photo cited from: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4mzqzk/water_droplets_on_a_dragonfly/</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><strong>18qSKUUTAGw1uL53simrSiZ6pJpfxKACvj for research support.
