Isn't it remarkable that it takes Physics to explain why Deep Learning is so effective? Let's get back to the one-dimensional Cellular Automaton proposed by Steven Wolfram to find out that even this simple model is sufficient for executing any algorithm, it is Turing complete. All that mixed with fragments of Digital Philosophy articulated on short videos. www.cekrk.com

the evolution of the universe
❏ Such computer could be a Turing machine or/(and) a cellular
automaton
❏ Below the Planck scale, there is an informational substrate that allows the
build-up of time, space, and energy * Wolfram, Stephen, A New Kind of Science, Chapter 9

Physics of Information - information is related to
entropy. All things has finite countable amount of
information in them.
