#insight | #computation
We discovered what is computation.
We came up with algorithms.
We learnt to build various tools to do it for us.
We kept improving their performance.
We realized the fastest computation there is, is done by nature.
We learnt to encode our models in phenomena.
Computational matter.
If we push further we realize that we can do that not just in physical phenomena.
We learn to harness artificial network structures as a medium of computation.
We realize that protocols are compacted forms of modelling.
They unfold across time.
We learnt that, the universe is attempting to solve itself.
Everything, everywhere, wants to thermalize.
Our history is the record of that on-going computation.
From our thoughts, to our most direct actions.
The unintended effects that escape our attention.
All is factored in.
