Stephen Wolfram : Observer Theory universe

Показать описание
Stephen Wolfram’s "Observer Theory" proposes that our perception of the universe is not objective but shaped by our nature as observers. He argues that we, as computationally bounded entities, simplify and compress the immense complexity of the universe to make sense of it, creating our own "perceived reality." This theory draws upon Wolfram's work on computational irreducibility, and the "ruliad," which represents a vast collection of all possible computations. The theory also extends to abstract domains like mathematics, where we act as "mathematical observers," equivalencing complex mathematical structures to create "human-accessible" concepts. Wolfram suggests that the limitations of our minds and the assumptions we make about ourselves, such as our belief in persistence and independence, play a significant role in shaping our understanding of the universe. He further explores the "cost of observation" – the computational resources required to form impressions – and speculates about the future of observer theory, highlighting the need for more detailed models of observation and the potential for exploring alternative forms of experience.

Is this YouTube channel run by a person or is it all output from a llm? Can you make an episode about uploading consciousness into a virtual environment?
