COMPLEXITY

NOTE

The latent knowledge in the universe

Assembly theory assumes that each step in the assembly process is another physical object that constrains the structure of the steps./nThe way we abstract assembly theory is just to talk about an object that was built, and the fact that that's evidence that you have this whole chain of things co constraining themselves./nTime has a directionality in assembly theory, and the past is different future, because the future is assembled from the current moment./nThis is the feature i find most interesting, is as yure building up an assembly space, like you're getting into higher and higher assembly index structures, they are larger, not just in depth and time, but also in the size of the space.
