Computational Paradigm and Complexity
2:39:40 - 2:45:13 (05:33)
The observer of a multi-computational system only samples certain aspects of the incredible complexity going on, making it look like General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.

This podcast episode discusses the idea of the multi-computation paradigm, where there are distributed asynchronous threads of time working towards a result rather than a single thread of time, and how it affects understanding the system output.

The concept of computational paradigm complexity, introduced in the 80s, implies that what an observer perceives in a multi-computational system is limited by their own computational boundedness and other characteristics, leading to the emergence of laws like general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Summary
The concept of computational paradigm complexity, introduced in the 80s, implies that what an observer perceives in a multi-computational system is limited by their own computational boundedness and other characteristics, leading to the emergence of laws like general relativity and quantum mechanics. This is similar to how laws of gas dynamics emerge independently of molecular dynamics in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
