#computation

Read through the most famous quotes by topic #computation




My father taught me Basic and rudimentary C, I learned everything else on my own, including studying computational complexity on my own. That's more a function of my age than anything else though - back when I was in school there were hardly any programming classes.


Bram Cohen

The three-pound organ in your skull - with its pink consistency of Jell-o - is an alien kind of computational material. It is composed of miniaturized, self-configuring parts, and it vastly outstrips anything we've dreamt of building.


David Eagleman

All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your view of what computation consists of.


Seth Lloyd

I have not proved that the universe is, in fact, a digital computer and that it's capable of performing universal computation, but it's plausible that it is.


Seth Lloyd

I would suggest, merely as a metaphor here, but also as the basis for a scientific program to investigate the computational capacity of the universe, that this is also a reasonable explanation for why the universe is complex.

In this metaphor we actually have a picture of the computational universe, a metaphor which I hope to make scientifically precise as part of a research program.

I have just gone over my comet computations again, and it is humiliating to perceive how very little more I know than I did seven years ago when I first did this kind of work.

A computation is a process that obeys finitely describable rules.


Rudy Rucker


#obeys #process #rules

If you think of your life as a kind of computation, it's quite abundantly clear that there's not going to be a final answer and there won't be anything particularly wonderful about having the computation halt!


Rudy Rucker


#answer #anything #clear #computation #final

Lately I've been working to convince myself that everything is a computation.


Rudy Rucker
