Episode Details

In this final excerpt from our conversation in October 2022, Jonathan Gorard explains how ideas from Wolfram Physics can be applied in fields beyond physics, including biology, chemistry and mathematics.

He describes the concept of compositionality, and digs deeper into why the hypergraph is able to model so much of our universe.
