And surprisingly so.

And then I realized, well, actually, you know, I was sort of assuming.

I didn't really think about it, actually.

I just thought this is something I can write.

And I realized, actually, it's a level of description that is kind of, you know, what has to be – it's not the engineering level description.

It's not the kind of just the qualitative kind of description.

It's some kind of sort of expository mechanistic description of what's going on together with kind of the bigger picture of the philosophy of things and so on.

And I realized, actually, this is a pretty good thing for me to write.

I kind of know those things.

And I kind of realized it's not a collection of things that, you know, it's – I've sort of been – I was sort of a little shocked that it's as much of an outlier in terms of explaining what's going on as it's turned out to be.

And that makes me feel more of an obligation to kind of write the kind of, you know, what is –

What is this thing that you should learn about, about the computationalization, the formalization of the world?

Because, well, I've spent much of my life working on the kind of tooling and mechanics of that and the science you get from it.

So I guess this is my kind of obligation to try to do this.

So if you ask what's going to happen to the computer science departments and so on, there's some interesting models.

So for example, let's take math.

Math is the thing that's important for all sorts of fields, engineering, even chemistry, psychology, whatever else.

And I think different universities have kind of evolved that differently.

I mean, some say all the math is taught in the math department.

And some say, well, we're going to have a math for chemists or something that is taught in the chemistry department.
