The Singularity Is “Complicated”
And, did H P Lovecraft have an inkling as to how it may come about?
Calm Islands of Promise in a Tumultuous Sea
It’s been some time since I dipped my toes into the fascinating endeavour that is the Wolfram Physics Project and its equally captivating core tenet that underlying all of reality is a rapidly rewriting hypergraph, its evolution based on what may be a comparatively simple basic set of rules.
My other pet passion, since I have few interests outside of computing to be honest¹, is my equal and every growing fascination with the idea of a Technological Singularity (henceforth I’ll refer to it as just the Singularity primarily to save my fingers) and how (I feel) its inevitably occurrence will suddenly change practically everything around us².
Let’s weave these two at first disjoint systems together with a pinch of higher dimensions, a large cup full computational complexity, and a generous sprinkling of the Cthulhu Mythos to spice things up a bit.
It’s a bit of a journey, but if you like mathematics and can suspend reality for a short time, you can have as much fun reading as I did writing.
After all, where can you get without imagination and a smile?
