rence to make a difference. In this way of looking at the world, a control system needed to be as complex as the system it controlled. Cyberneticist W. Ross Ashby proved that this was true in a precise mathematical sense, in what is now called Ashby’s Law of Requisite Variety, or sometimes the First Law of Cybe
nventor, and the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research. He is the creator of the symbolic computation program Mathematica and its programming language, Wolfram Language, as well as the knowledge engine Wolfram|Alpha.

athematica is the definitive system for modern technical computing. Wolfram|Alpha computes expert-level answers using AI technology. He considers his Wolfram Language to be the first true computational communication language for humans and AIs. I caught up with him again four years ago, when we arranged to meet in
