Quantum Operators From Wolfram Model Multiway Systems

Furkan Semih Dündar, Xerxes D. Arsiwalla, Hatem Elshatlawy

Using Wolfram Model multiway rewriting systems we have found that by using multiway systems one can construct representations of quantum circuits, showing that one can encode the Hadamard gate, the π/8 gate and the CNOT using multiway rewriting systems. This suggests the possibility of universal quantum computation using multiway rewriting.

What’s Special about Life? Bulk Orchestration and the Rulial Ensemble in Biology and Beyond

Stephen Wolfram

It’s a key feature of living systems, perhaps even in some ways the key feature: that even right down to a molecular scale, things are orchestrated. Molecules (or at least large ones) don’t just move around randomly, like in a liquid or a gel. Instead, what molecular biology has discovered is that there are endless active mechanisms that in effect orchestrate what even individual molecules in living systems do. But what is the result of all that orchestration? And could there perhaps be a general characterization of what happens in systems that exhibit such “bulk orchestration”?
