Unraveling Computation and Predictability
This chapter explores the intricate concept of computation, focusing on its deterministic nature and the challenges of describability related to non-computability. The hosts discuss algorithms, AGI, and the distinction between computable and non-computable functions, using examples from planetary orbits to highlight unpredictability in computations. Additionally, philosophical implications surrounding the simulation of natural phenomena versus computational equivalence in complex systems are examined.
