beautiful, apparently three-dimensional, non-repeating shape. Chaosville Chaos, taken to its logical conclusion could explain our Universe. Stephen Wolfram in A New Kind of Science, makes the argument that simple rules could explain the extraordinary complexity we see in our Universe. He applies rules to

truth they derive from the most simple set of rules. You can check out the website to see a live version of Conway’s Game of Life. It’s a lot of fun.

Starting from a set of fundamental principles devised by Wolfram, Mathematica has continually grown, integrating more and more algorithmic domains, and spawning such technologies as the Computable Document Format (

r three revolutionary developments: the Mathematica computation system, A New Kind of Science, and the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine. Wolfram was educated at Eton, Oxford and Caltech, receiving his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at the age of 20. Wolfram’s work on basic science led him toa se

There he proposes cellular au- tomata models that emulate the qualitative characteristics of various real-world
