Building state machines in the lab with chemputation
2:49:30 - 2:56:03 (06:33)
In this episode, the concept of state machines and chemputation is discussed, exploring the possibility of building a state machine to make any molecule physically in the laboratory.

The laws of physics can be seen as maximally compressed representations resulting from local interactions that operate under simple rules, creating multi-hierarchical complex structures that don't necessarily require a computer or machine learning.

Summary
The laws of physics can be seen as maximally compressed representations resulting from local interactions that operate under simple rules, creating multi-hierarchical complex structures that don't necessarily require a computer or machine learning. The less memory is used, the more universal the laws become because they are not really laws.
