Is everything that’s ever going to happen in the universe already determined?
Or does something else – maybe randomness, maybe free will – play a role?
Stephen Wolfram’s answer to this question is straightforward: the ruliad is fully determined.
But there’s a twist. The ruliad is determined, but how we observe the evolution of the universe depends on where we are in the ruliad.
In a fascinating introduction to the role of the observer in the Wolfram model, Stephen touches on some of the deepest philosophical questions in physics, finishing on one of the deepest: is there an objective reality?
