Exploring Assembly Theory with Guest Melanie Mitchell
2:13:07 - 2:22:44 (09:37)
Guest Melanie Mitchell explains how assembly theory allows us to compare the complexity of various domains from molecules to music, and how it ties into Nietzsche's understanding of limited freedom.
Clips
The concept of complexity is often explored by examining correlated objects to understand the number of moving parts and how they exist.

Summary
The concept of complexity is often explored by examining correlated objects to understand the number of moving parts and how they exist. This podcast discusses how complexity can emerge from simple rules and the calculation of entropy.

The assembly theory proposes that we have constraints from our past that limit what we can do in the future, but we can use them to do amazing things when interacting with our model of the world's cost functions.

Summary
The assembly theory proposes that we have constraints from our past that limit what we can do in the future, but we can use them to do amazing things when interacting with our model of the world's cost functions. However, the origin of the little bit of freedom we have is still unclear.
