One rule to rule them all? with Jonathan Gorard
In the early days of the Wolfram Physics Project, Stephen Wolfram seemed to be seeking a single rule that, when applied to the hypergraph, could generate our universe.
More recently, however, Wolfram has promoted the idea of the ruliad, the application of every possible rule to the hypergraph.
So I asked Jonathan Gorard, who was instrumental in the founding of the Wolfram Physics Project, whether all rules might be applied to generate our universe, or whether he was searching for one rule to rule them all.
