Yeah. I mean, the first couple sentences of that paper disturbed people a lot. And I think they were really carefully constructed in exactly this kind of way.

Oh, it was really fun. But I think it's interesting because... I do, you know, sometimes I'm very upfront about it. I say I'm going to use the same word in probably six different ways in a lecture. And I will.

Yeah, for sure. I mean, this is part of the sort of brilliant thing about our collaboration is, you know, complementary skill sets. So I love playing with the abstract space of language. And it's a really interesting playground when I'm working with Lee because... he thinks at a much deeper level of abstraction than can be expressed by language.

And the ideas we work on are hard to talk about for that reason.

I think it's a very poor language. A lot of people think it's a really great one, but I think it has some nice properties. But I think the feature of it that is compelling is this kind of idea of universality, that if you have a language, you can describe things in any other language.

I don't think that they're outside our human languages. I think they define the boundary of the space of human languages. They allow us to explore things within that space, which is also fantastic. But I think there is a set of ideas that takes, and Stephen Wolfram has worked on this quite a lot and contributed very significantly to it.

And I really like some of the stuff that Stephen's doing with his physics project, but don't agree with a lot of the foundations of it. But I think the space is really fun that he's exploring. you know, there's this assumption that computation is at the base of reality. And I kind of see it at the top of reality, not at the base, because I think computation was built by our biosphere.
