Principia Mathematica III: “Stephen Wolfram says he has created a new kind of science based on simple computer programs rather than equations.” The author of Mathematica now thinks we ought to scrap equation-based modelling of physical processes as inadequate to the task. Since nature apparently uses simple processes to create complexity, we can describe it with simple computer programs.

And, while we’re considering novel computer descriptions of the real world, “an international set of specifications for writing non-verbal human

communications in computer code is being drawn up by a US web

standards group… HumanMarkup Language (HumanML) will allow software engineers

to write abstract, non-verbal human communications in computer

code. This will give computer users the power to communicate their

emotions and gestures to other computer users over the internet… With HumanML, web pages could be used to express meaning to

someone who speaks an entirely different language.” New Scientist
