The Universe as a Data Structure
1:14:23 - 1:17:21 (02:58)
The universe can be generated from a simple set of rules and a data structure. However, not much of what we know about our universe is obvious in that rule.

The system that controls the weather is computationally equivalent to the system that controls our brains, which challenges how we view and define intelligence.
3:27:12 - 3:30:17 (03:05)
Summary
The system that controls the weather is computationally equivalent to the system that controls our brains, which challenges how we view and define intelligence. As humans progress towards understanding artificial intelligence and extraterrestrial intelligences, it will become evident that they are all a part of the same kind of computational system.
