I always have an impression that everything in the universe is too complicated and doesn’t give too much chance to be computed. Evolutionary biologist Thomas Ray makes a comparison as the genetic language consists of an alphabet of 20 letters and a computer language has many. He takes inspiration from natural science and uses computer science to solve problems. Not only algorithms, but he also distinguishes the inside of a computer as a physical system by making an analogy of the sun, the source of energy, as CPU and creatures living in the memory. This also supports Wolfram’s idea of a close correspondence between physical processes and computations. Like the Computational Equivalence principle says, Thomas Ray seems to build very complex ecological phenomena with his very simplified computer program. | I always have an impression that everything in the universe is too complicated and doesn’t give too much chance to be computed.
