COMPLEXITY
The Evolution of Complexity
Turing didn't call them algerthms. He called them methods. Claud shanan called them algerisms. The modern word is algrithim. But they inhabit a world that's infinite, and a world of things changing and giving birth to things. This is very close to how neural processes work. Science itself is discovering a new language. You could call this computation. I don't like that term. It's too much about machines. And you have a language now to talk about events, processes, things unfolding as the computation works out. Those are along with conditional branch if then conditions. So systems like this, i think this is the essence of complexity.
