Introduction to Complexity: Cellular Automata as Computers

These are videos from the Introduction to Complexity online course hosted on Complexity Explorer. You will learn about the tools used by scientists to understand complex systems. The topics you'll learn about include dynamics, chaos, fractals, information theory, self-organization, agent-based modeling, and networks. You’ll also get a sense of how these topics fit together to help explain how complexity arises and evolves in nature, society, and technology.
This course was developed by professor Melanie Mitchell, and is based on her book Complexity: A Guided Tour.

This has been so helpful in integrating my understanding and answering long held questions. Thank you VERY MUCH.

[@satheeshkumar7880]

Is any practical application of implementing the celluar automata?

[@sock2828]

I'm interested by how crystalline a 110 automata looks. It reminds me of cooling metal.

I love your voice!

Imagine if far into the future we finally understand the rule of our universe at the scale of atoms of space and want to tap into the computation at this scale and create unimaginable speed, far past what a quantum computer is capable of.

[@AlvinYakitori060]

Are "Computation" and "Information Processing" the same thing?

[@potowogreedo]

Talk about the big questions...

[@richardpogoson]

How the hell was this asked 4 years ago??

[@AlvinYakitori060]

Richard Pogoson you mean that in a positive or negative way?

[@richardpogoson]

@@AlvinYakitori060 Oh 😂, I was just wondering how it was possible to have a four-year-old comment on a two-year-old video. I wasn't trying to offend anyone.

[@123TeeMee]

So exciting, to me at least

Amazing, did you ever give my music a listen? Cant wait to see more!
