Simple rules create complex patterns: The power of emergence! For me, emergence is one of the most important principles of the universe.

[@starfishsystems]

Also illustrated here is that nonlocal structure and behavior can emerge from strictly local rulesets. One of the early - admittedly handmade - implementations of this insight was the use of "simulated annealing" for finding nonlocal optima using strictly local rules. Local rules can perform simple hill climbing in an obvious way, but the search will terminate upon hitting a local maximum. Short of allowing each local climber to confer with the others (thus destroying strict locality) what can we do? Simply shake the system periodically, to overcome local maxima. Each progressive shake is less forceful, so that the climbers tend to end up less far away from their starting point on a given iteration. What's good about this approach is its local rules leading to emergent global optimization, which not only lends itself to parallel implementation but also supports the natural emergence of such rules if they confer survival advantage. Adding noise to aid convergence is also a technique used in signal discrimination. I believe that the CDMA cellular protocol was one of the earlier implementations, or maybe it was spread spectrum.

[@flippodynamics3635]

She: our world isnt a computer simulation programmed by someone... Vsauce: Or is it?

[@liquidminds]

One of the best arguments (for me) is, that if simulated universes are possible, there would be a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation, going on forever, making it almost impossible that any specific world would be the original one (by chance). So if it is possible, we're almost certainly a simulation, and if we aren't a simulation we also most likely won't be able to create a super-computer strong enough to simulate a universe with sentience. So simply put... Either we are a simulated reality, or it's impossible to simulate realities. The chance that we are the first generation to think about it, in the infinity of space and time, is almost too ridiculously small to even consider it... But all the logical experiments end up at the same conclusion.. Either we are, or we aren't xD

The process indicates that we may find and merge with other planetary civilizations and form a bigger one and so on How vast and deep can grow our knowledge and understanding of everything? there's no limit... so, there you have the layers of the alleged simulation... nothing more (or nothing less) than different and ever increasing complex (visions of) realities BTW, @UpAndAtom, very interesting video!

Keep it up! Don't ever let yourself believe you can't learn something. And NEVER stop learning. Even years from now keep learning something new every day. At least 1 thing. You'll be amazed at what you're capable of by the time you're 30. And I want to say how much I respect you for having that drive to learn and being inspired by videos like this just the way I was, and still am to this day. I'm 37 years old by the way and still very much learning everything I can. I've got a stack of notebooks just like any school student. I watch college and university lectures online, and stuff like this. I read textbooks for fun. Even though I left school when I was only 14 because people beat me up and spit on me and the teachers treated me bad and so on. And I wasn't interesting in learning at that time. But thankfully I grew into it. And yeah, sure enough learning since I was 18 or 19, making a point of learning a few things each day, I now know and can do things I never would have thought I could learn. Because I'd see a subject like quantum mechanics and I wouldn't think "oh that's too hard, I'll never understand that. Why bother trying?" I'll go and try it anyways, even if I know I won't understand. Because you still pick up little bits and pieces here and there. Even if you don't realize it. And if you do that enough times with enough different resources for long enough, eventually you'll learn it just the same. It's not the fastest way to learn something. But anything worth learning is going to take a lot of time and effort to learn. So don't even worry about how long it takes you to learn something (unless you have a deadline for school hehe). Just enjoy the journey of learning! Sorry this wound up being rather long. But I respect the hell out of people like you and I just want to give you as much advice as I can from my own experiences. Even if it helps a little bit, that's fine by me. But I do hope this has been useful to you. By the way I also want to mention, your English is very good. Take care, and be well. Wishing you all the best from Canada.

Conway's Game of Life is Turing-complete. There are configurations in the Game that simulate Turing machines. Combining that idea with the Recursion Theorem (there are Turing machines that output their own descriptions), you can produce configurations in the Game that simulate Turing machines that output their own descriptions.

The top-down vs bottom-up approach is one of the reasons I love statistical mechanics.

You are a top-level presenter of complex information. This self-replication/nanotech episode was FANTASTIC!!!

[@jonthecomposer]

Love this video! And I feel it's a really good way to show how higher order can be emergent. I see SO many people conflating the idea of "Because entropy increases, all systems work towards chaos." and "Chaos = inability to become more complex." . Entropy isn't a "loss of energy." It is the leveling of energy gradients: something like, "as the cold side warms up, the hot side cools down until they are both the same temperature." No energy was lost, just its ability to be used because of lack of differentiation. If we think of information in its most elementary form, it can consist of just a single energy difference. And with that, we have one piece of information. But if no differences are there, no information can be given / attained. Let's say you have two energy states: 0 and 2. If you come across this system and its energy gradients are 0000, no information can be attained. If its gradients are 2222, still no information can be attained. But if it was at 0220, there are now obviously 2 gradients. As the energy in the system works to equalize the gradients, eventually, no information can exist in the system. Because 0220 will eventually become 1111 once everything evens out. So the complexity isn't really affected. What IS affected, is the system's ability to hold onto information as the energy gradients are leveled out. However, given a system that has an energy source, (in this case, a computer and the electricity), then the system is no longer locally susceptible to the amount of entropy it would take to make the system lose information. This allows the formation of more complex information and actions from simple information. And voila! You have what we see in your video and in life!

All our scientific laws are simplified models of reality, and only an approximation of reality. Like Newton had a rough model of gravity, Einstein had a completely different model of gravity which is more accurate. And then we have quantum gravity... Since these are just approximations, it is absolutely possible to have a completely different models, approaching the same piece of reality from an entirely different ways. And all these very different models can provide a different view on the very same reality. So yes, I could imagine having very different physics describing our reality, with similar precision.

Thank you for another great video, Jade! I always enjoy the perspective you bring, and I’m looking forward to the Nebula video. So glad I’m already a Nebuler... Nebulizer? Nebulist? Anyway, I’m positive that your upcoming video will be interesting and compelling!

[@upandatom]

Nebulizer, I like that. Nebulon? Nebularooni? We'll make it work...

[@bicycleninja1685]

This is your best video so far. I find myself going back to it multiple times.

[@mikip3242]

This is one of the best videos you have ever done. Congratulations. You are getting so good at this. As a physicist I found this fascinating and very deep.

[@upandatom]

thank you that means a lot :)

[@Nyx041]

The way you explain a hard concept is inspiring . Great work .

[@azhakabad4229]

I was searching about this from 1 month! Thank you.

[@sujaysahu6653]

Patterns reminded me of Mandelbrot set and fractals! Loved the Game of life! Amazing presentation as always!

[@heidim.2462]

Your channel is SO underrated. Your videos are what got me interested in physics. Thank you for such amazing content.

[@AliJorani]

I love game of life. It always fascinated me and you've done a great job explaining it here

[@evankyze502]

You clearly understand the subject well with how simply you are able to convey it. It's also refreshing to see a professional woman that makes no attempt to sell her material with low cut collars, layers of make up, etc.... In your case, though, Jade, you can't hide your natural elegance. Thank you for providing complex content in a simple enjoyable way.

Absolutely fascinating great video and great explanation inspiring us to look at the world around and think about it.

[@xelasc]

One of the best videos you have made, thank you.

[@markkennedy9767]

Jade your channel is just great. What I notice is you don't confine yourself to one area (although it seems physics is your thing). Instead, you seem to be interested in everything and want to synthesize and find connections between all areas from philosophy to physics to biology. All done with an endearing enthusiasm and wonder. And I like how you stress how you sometimes have struggled in the past to understand some concepts. I think it is exactly this wrestling with concepts that produces a better teacher. And you clearly are an excellent teacher. Keep up the great work.

Ok.. this is one of the most interesting videos I've ever watched. Thank you for making this and presenting it so well. For me you are now up in the top 10 channels on KZbin. RIP Dr. Conway, I remember I programmed his The Game of Life on a ZX Spectrum back in early 80's.

[@Disqualified_Identity]

This video was fascinating! Keep doing what you’re doing and you will have a huge positive effect on the science of the next generation. I am thankful the world has educators like you.

[@jimdreyer1]

your best video yet. keep up the good work. You are talented, stay interesting, like this video was. Nice Job.

[@upandatom]

thanks, I'll do my best!

[@JanRautiainen]

This video made me start thinking about different possibilities I used to think about long time ago, thanks Jade

Amazing video. Thank you for that and popularization of mathematical biology and fractals!

[@brwa5176]

Excellent as always, you rock!

[@chirag1764]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
