Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal · William Hahn: Unifying Wolfram, Leibniz, and Consciousness with AI · 11 Feb 2025 podcast

that maybe they're actually all throughout nature.

Maybe throughout the universe we should expect to find objects that are universal machines, sort of spontaneous in nature.

And we we wanna think about now what's the the chance essentially that they have a software program that might be somewhere on this ladder of consciousness that that's attributed to Leibniz.

But there's nothing above that.

Trevor Burrus Ex Exactly.

And that's kind of the point, is that you you s you smash into this sort of upper ceiling of computation relatively quickly, right?

It's sort of a low speed limit and you you whatever vehicle you're in quickly hits that speed limit.

Because that's what's

that's what's so profound about universality is that's the ceiling.

There's nothing there's nothing more powerful than that.

Um and so if that is relatively easy,

to c to create spontaneously in some sense, by chance we get a computer like object, uh a universal machine, then we want to think about well, what's the

The analogous part is the software that would go with it.

So Wolfram suggests that it's relatively easy to find computers in the wild.

Well what's the chance they have any interesting programming to go with that?

So I think I think you hit the nail on the head with that one because that's really kind of what I've been thinking about.

I like how you you phrase it.

Um are humans already at that universality?

our our intellectual sphere, our language, our culture, are have we maxed out?

Or are we going to transcend this era, reach another level of consciousness, maybe called spirituality, whatever that might be, another another layer of evolution?
