There is an article on Wolfram at the L.A. Times today. I thought that this might be of interest also.
I put in an order on that book over a year ago. It out yet?
This may interest you. Cellular automata are in the same vein as Chaos.
BUMP Great read, thanks.
Fascinating.
Has there been any noteworthy reaction to the book from Wolfram's peers? I remember a flurry of interest at the time of its publication, and I remember thinking, 'Hey, if the work is truly groundbreaking, a buzz should start to circulate in about a year.' That was about a year or more ago now, and I haven't heard a peep about Wolfram's "revolutionary" theory in the admittedly less rarefied precincts of the intellectual universe that I habituate.
Did he say something new? Or not?
