Understanding the Computational Complexity of Human Interactions
The complexity of human interactions and computational processes can lead to a lack of understanding in fields like science and society, where predictions are based on limited knowledge of the system. The story of thermodynamics serves as an analogy to this concept of computational irreducibility.
