Stephen Wolfram

Cellular Automata

Wolfram was an early and prolific contributor to developing an understanding cellular automata


Wolfram has made it his life's work to study the space of all possible 'simple programs'. These simple programs are what are encoded as cellular automata, which we have seen are systems that change states based on rules related to the state of their neighbors. As there can be a range of state rules, and a range of starting conditions, it is possible to explore the range of rule sets, and see which of these yields complex behaviors. Wolfram has been able to demonstrate that there are a wide range of simple rules which produce complex effects.

Stephen Wolfram: Computing a theory of all knowledge

Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica, talks about his quest to make all knowledge computational -- able to be searched, processed and manipulated. His new search engine, Wolfram Alpha, has no lesser goal than to model and explain the physics underlying the universe.
