Design Choices and Future Breakthroughs

This chapter explores the design choices of 'A New Kind of Science' book, from the wide pictures requiring wide pages to the relevance of wool rheology and the multi-computational paradigm. It also discusses the possibility of future breakthroughs in science and the defining features of scientific progress. The chapter ends with reflections on the philosophical implications of the topic and the potential disappearance of our sense of existence as we explore more broadly.
