Wolfram Physics Project

An approach to the fundamental theory of physics.

A research initiative of the Wolfram Institute @wolframinst

Some exiciting announcements in the coming months! 🌌

Wolfram @stephen_wolfram might be onto something here😁

WOLFRAM PHYSICS in motion: Two competing feeders and and a predator. Everything here is a hypergraph...including the environment.

We visualize a synthetic micro-ecosystem built on computational irreducibility, hypergraph rule-flow & emergent geometry. Inspired by the Wolfram Physics Project's quest for a "Theory of Everything".

The full 1750 line python code is available to Gold members on YouTube upon request.

[wip] growing organisms using hypergraph rewriting

I'm exploring generating organisms using string forces and I was wondering about which class of algorithms could be used to generalize the growth of such structures. I wanted a system which can produce a wide variety of outputs, while allowing for stable and controlled growth.

That's when I thought about Stephen Wolfram (yes again) Physics Project, which proposes to explore a solution to the fundamental theory of physics using a hypergraph rewriting system (https://t.co/Wihyh3pnvC)

TLDR; Growth of graphs using simple permutation rules. It's similar to cellular automata but for graphs. Could be what I'm looking for.

I started to experiment with this system to grow my organisms, and it's definitely a promising approach!

Below is a video of the following rules applied to an initial {{0,0},{0,0}} graph:

rand() < 0.15
? {{x,y},{x,z}}->{{x,y},{x,w},{y,w},{z,w}}
: {{x,y},{x,z}}->{{x,w},{y,w},{z,w}}

There's a lot of areas to improve this exploration, notably:
- localization of rules (instead of applying a same rule to the whole system, let each node have its own rules)
- spawn control rules (when a new node is created, a rule can define which rules will be applied to such node)
- mutation rules (rules which alter rules of adjacent nodes)
- conditional rules (many rules can be attached to a node, the one being executed subject to localized conditions)

Super exciting, will certainly be the basis of my next project.

@ciphrd Wonderful exploration of the Ruliad!

Interactive hypergraph rewriting!

[Sabine Hossenfelder @skdh]

Stephen Wolfram has attempted to develop a theory of everything using hypergraphs. Recently, @getjonwithit used hypergraphs to describe what happens if a black hole accretes matter &amp; claims that evidence for hypergraphs should be observable.

A fun triangular rule.

Shameless plug following the recent limelight from @skhd's video: these are the two most in-depth interviews I've (so far) done regarding our work. Links in reply.
One with Mark Jeffery (more technical) from 2022.
One with Curt Jaimungal (more philosophical) from this year.

[Sabine Hossenfelder @skdh]

You've been asking me for years to talk about Stephen Wolfram's theory of everything, so here we go at last.
